Delhi NCR Internet Services Restored: Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea Internet is Now Working

Delhi NCR Internet services have now been restored, after almost 15 hours of slow or no Internet in several areas of the capital. Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea Internet services were reportedly disabled on the order of the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) after the ongoing farmer protests turned violent in New Delhi. Several consumers face problems in accessing internet, and also in file sharing on free messaging platforms such as WhatsApp.

“Internet is shut in my area not able to upload or download from yesterday. Poor speed. 10kb/min,” said a user from the KarolBagh area of Delhi. Several other consumers have also been complaining about facing issues as they work from home and also in attending online classes. “Last night, at home in South Delhi at least mobile internet was working, but now even that has been blocked off. This area is miles away from the border, and the nearest border is Gurgaon border where there are no protest,” says Kunal on Twitter.

The internet services were also reportedly shutdown in some parts of Haryana. “Mobile internet services have been suspended in three Haryana districts of Sonipat, Jhajjar and Palwal for 24 hours ending 5 p.m. on Wednesday, the State government said on Tuesday evening, as violent protests by farmers rocked neighbouring Delhi,” says a consumer on Twitter.

However, after 52.72 million mobile users were hit by the internet shutdown in capital, the services are now gradually getting restored. “Ultimately, the internet services has been restored in Delhi after 20 hours of ban. Hopefully all the issues related internet services has been resolved by all the Telecom operators and services are normal everywhere. Please check out your internet connections,” says Ankur Raj.
