Bhima Koregaon village, Pune district, Maharashtra state
Authorities ordered local telecommunication providers to suspend Internet services in the district of Koregaon Bhima on 1 January 2021 to prevent 'rumors or provocative messages on social media' from being spread. Internet shutdowns during protests or civil unrest impact the ability of citizens to get accurate information from government sources when they need it most. It also becomes harder for citizens to contact family members and friends in other parts of the country, or in other countries.
