Allegations of Internet Slowdown at Delhi Building Collapse Site Amid Rescue Efforts
Following the collapse of a five-storey building in Delhi's Satya Niketan, some witnesses and activists alleged that mobile internet was deliberately slowed or jammed to limit video sharing and protests. Independent journalist Harsh Mamnani and student activists reported poor internet speeds near the site. Delhi Police denied these claims, stating networks were fully operational and no jammers were used. The controversy sparked widespread social media discussion amid concerns over government transparency and rescue efforts.
