Digital Dark: Haryana Govt Extends Internet Ban in 7 Districts Till Feb 23

In a recent development, the Haryana government has decided to prolong the ban on mobile internet and bulk SMS services in seven districts until February 23. This decision comes in light of the ongoing farmers' 'Delhi Chalo protest, with the affected districts being Ambala, Kurukshetra, Kaithal, Jind, Hisar, Fatehabad, and Sirsa. The farmers had recently resumed their 'Delhi Chalo protest on February 21, only to halt it for two days following the tragic death of a protesting farmer. This move reflects the ongoing tension and sensitivity surrounding the farmers' demands and the government's response.
