In response to the escalating ‘Delhi Chalo’ movement by farmers, the Haryana government has decided to extend the ban on mobile internet and SMS services in seven crucial districts until February 21. Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind, Hisar, Fatiabad, and Sirsa remain under a communication blackout, reflecting the severity of the situation. Haryana’s Additional Chief Secretary, TVSN Prasad, emphasized the ongoing critical and tense conditions in these areas, prompting the government’s decision to maintain stringent measures.
This extension is a strategic move to manage the unrest effectively and uphold public safety amidst the evolving dynamics of the farmers’ protest. The blackout aims to curb the spread of misinformation and maintain order in the affected districts. The government’s commitment to restoring normalcy is evident, highlighting the challenges faced in finding a resolution to the complex issues at the heart of the ‘Delhi Chalo’ movement. As the ban persists, residents and authorities alike await the developments, hoping for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing unrest in these key districts.
