Haryana Suspends Internet in Nuh Ahead of Braj Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra

The Haryana government has suspended mobile internet and bulk SMS services in Nuh district for 24 hours ahead of the Braj Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra. This decision comes after last year's violence during the event. Stringent security measures are in place to ensure the peaceful conduct of the Yatra.

The Haryana government on Sunday ordered the suspension of mobile internet and bulk SMS services in Nuh district for 24 hours ahead of the Braj Mandal Jalabhishek Yatra. The measure follows last year's violent events during the Yatra.

According to an order by Haryana Additional Chief Secretary (Home) Anurag Rastogi, internet services will be suspended from 6 pm Sunday to 6 pm Monday. This decision is based on inputs from the Additional DGP-CID and a Deputy Commissioner, and aims to prevent potential unrest and misinformation.

Nuh Police have made tight security arrangements to ensure the Yatra proceeds smoothly. Last year, two home guards were killed and at least 15 others injured during an attack on a Vishva Hindu Parishad procession. The BJP government, under Manohar Khattar, faced significant criticism from opposition parties for the incident.
