Week after Amalapuram violence, internet services still remain suspended in Andhra Pradesh’s Konaseema

A week after the Amalapuram arson, internet services remain suspended in the Konaseema district.

Thousands of people, especially the techies working from home, are affected by the YSRCP government and the AP police decision, intended to curb the spread of fake or inciting messages.

The peaceful Amalapuram town in the Godavari delta area of Andhra Pradesh witnessed arson last Tuesday over the proposed renaming of the newly created Konaseema district as Dr BR Ambedkar Konaseema district.

Former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu criticised the Jaganmohan Reddy administration for not restoring internet services even after a week.
