Jaipur Suspends Internet, Deploys Police Ahead of Anti-Encroachment Drive Involving Religious Structures
Jaipur authorities suspended mobile internet and bulk messaging services for 24 to 48 hours and deployed over 3,000 police personnel ahead of a major anti-encroachment drive on June 8. The Jaipur Development Authority is removing around 10 to 12 illegal structures, including five religious buildings—a mosque, two temples, a satsang hall, and a mazar—along a 1.5-km road in Jagatpura to widen it from 25-30 feet to 80 feet. The measures aim to prevent rumors and maintain public order during the operation, which has drawn criticism from some local groups.
