  Sandeshkhali et Hingalganj

  On Saturday, 10 February 2024, local authorities in Sandeshkhali, West Bengal, ordered for local Internet services to be suspended as part of Section 144 orders that were imposed to quell violence following two days of protests revolting against local leaders. These orders were extended to the adjacent Hingalganj area on 13 February 'so that tension does not spread to other areas,' according to local reports. The same day (13 February), a single-judge bench of the Calcutta High Court reportedly quashed the orders imposing restrictions under Section 144, saying such prohibitory orders should only be put in place in areas identified as “troubled zone”. Internet shutdowns during protests or civil unrest impact the citizens' ability 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 other countries.

  Internet mobile, WIFI public

  District de Poonch et Rajouri

  Les autorités locales ont ordonné la suspension de l'Internet mobile et des services WiFi publics dans les districts de Poonch et de Rajouri, dans la province de Jammu, en Inde, le 7 février de 00h10 à 23h30 heure locale, afin d'empêcher l'utilisation abusive de ces services par des "éléments antinationaux/mécréants, ce qui pourrait entraîner une détérioration de l'ordre public". Selon certaines informations, cette mesure a été prise à la suite de la décision du gouvernement indien d'accorder le statut de tribu répertoriée aux brahmanes Paharis, Padari, Koli et Gadda afin qu'ils puissent bénéficier de réservations dans le territoire de l'Union. Les coupures d'Internet lors de manifestations ou de troubles civils ont un impact sur la capacité des citoyens à obtenir des informations précises de sources gouvernementales lorsqu'ils en ont le plus besoin. Il devient également plus difficile pour les citoyens de contacter les membres de leur famille et leurs amis dans d'autres parties du pays ou dans d'autres pays.

  Rajasthan

  The Regional Commissioner Bhawar Lal Meena ordered Internet services to be suspended in several districts of Rajasthan, India, on 7 January from 10:00 to 15:00 local time to prevent malpractices surrounding the Rajasthan Public Service Commission (RPSC) examination. According to one report, 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G Internet services, along with SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media services, were suspended. As we have repeatedly written about on Pulse, Internet shutdowns cause great harm to a country’s economy and society and are, in our opinion, NOT the appropriate mechanism to cope with potential exam cheating.
