These #InternetShutdowns are also causing massive inconvenience to the general public. The residents of these areas are unable to access online education & remote work facilities which are essential during the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic.

#VoicesFromHaryana #LetTheNetWork
#Haryana Government in its order stated that #Internet along with SMS services are being suspended to control fake rumours and disinformation during the ongoing #farmersagitation. The internet however is much more than social media.
#keepiton
The Internet has become a means of livelihood for people especially during the pandemic where the majority of citizens are still working and studying from home. Internet is used to verify information as well.
#pandemic #letthenetwork #keepiton #farmersrprotest
Internet shutdown cannot be used as a tool to suppress dissent. This is a violation of the right to freedom of speech and expression as well as the right to life. The impact of such shutdowns on citizens and the economy is huge.

The restoration of #4G in only a couple of districts in the Union Territory is discriminatory and denies citizens a basic necessity in these times of the pandemic.
#LetTheNetWork #KeepItOn #internetshutdown #JammuAndKashmir #Restore4GinJammuKashmir
The human and economic costs of these restrictions are huge and these actions are not at all proportionate. We hope that the Government will respond to the rightful demand to restore high speed Internet access in the region.
#LetTheNetWork #5august #internetshutdowns
The Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir has 20+ districts and restoring high speed in one district each in Jammu and Kashmir region is not enough with a review only happening after 2 months. #LetTheNetWork

A Year of #InternetRestrictions
An #Internetshutdown is more than just a disconnection from Whatsapp, Facebook or Twitter; it means limiting access to knowledge and learning opportunities.
#LetTheNetWork #KeepItOn #JammuandKashmir #5august
Confined to their homes, students have found it challenging to study online with the painstakingly slow internet connections, which also faces frequent outages.
#LetTheNetWork
#KeepItOn
With limited connectivity, Higher Education is struggling event more. Students who have to prepare for competitive exams can't attend coaching classes physically due to the #Pandemic & the Internet is not fast enough for online classes.

A Year of #InternetRestrictions
#JammuandKashmir had 213 days of the complete internet blackout after which only 2G internet was restored in the valley. This year long communication block has caused immense damage to the citizens of the erstwhile UT.
#LetTheNetWork #KeepItOn Image
Students have lost many hours of their education, people have lost their livelihoods, the media has been severely crippled, the economy has suffered immensely & businesses have collapsed in the absence of a stable #internet connection.

#5AugustBlackDay
As #DigitalIndia is becoming a reality, it is important to understand that maximum efforts have to be made to make the internet a safe space for everyone. #FreedomOfSpeech & #FreedomOfExpression expression shouldn't be diluted over the internet.

The current pandemic that we are living under is a unique paradox, a virtual civilization that allows us to interact with each other and normal civilization that is restricted to our doorstop. - @ManishTewari
