After 143 days, the ban on mobile internet services in Manipur has been lifted, bringing relief to residents who had been forced to leave the state for online studies. Students, in particular, welcomed the decision as it allows them to prepare for competitive exams from Imphal. However, there are concerns about another shutdown if the situation becomes volatile again. While people are eager to return home, they are cautious and will wait for a few days to ensure the situation remains normal. The ban had severely impacted trade and transactions in the region.
