Internet cut amid ethnic tensions in Tripura

Guwahati: Authorities imposed prohibitory orders and deployed a huge contingent of security forces as ethnic tensions continued in the tribal-dominated Ganda Twisa in Tripura’s Dhalai District on Saturday. The Internet has been snapped and large gatherings have been banned in the district and four people have been arrested.

Officials said the attackers burnt houses, vandalised and looted shops and homes at Ganda Twisa on Friday night when Parameshwar Reang succumbed to his injuries after being assaulted by some miscreants on July 7.

The Tripura home department suspended mobile Internet services in Dhalai district till Saturday midnight to prevent circulation of messages, videos and photographs.

Former Tripura chief minister Manik Sarkar discussed the Ganda Twisa situation with Chief Minister Manik Saha and requested him to take appropriate measures to control the situation.
