Internet Shutdown After Kokrajhar Violence Hits Students and Daily Life

Following violence in Kokrajhar over suspected cattle theft that left two people dead, the administration imposed prohibitory orders and suspended mobile internet services in Kokrajhar and Chirang to maintain law and order. While the move helped curb unrest, it severely affected students, job aspirants, interns and travellers. Many students reported disruption in exam preparation, online classes and internships, highlighting the wider impact of repeated internet shutdowns on education, work and daily life in the region.
