What happened
In an innovative move to ensure 'public tranquillity' during council elections, the Meghalaya government has suspended mobile internet services in West Garo Hills for 72 hours. While the rest of the world struggles with information overload, residents of Chibinang can now enjoy a mandatory retreat from the 21st century. Authorities claim the shutdown is a 'precautionary measure' against rumors, effectively proving that in the age of Digital India, the most stable form of communication is still a loud shout across a field.
