The unrest caused by the Patel agitation triggered a ban on mobile-based Internet services in Gujarat, which has now been lifted with the exception of Ahmedabad and Surat cities. The Hindu reports that the police fear that “Some miscreants could circulate video clips of clashes between the police and the residents and foment trouble.” No WhatsApp, no Facebook, no SMS or MMS and no Twitter. And no online bank transactions either. A first for Gujarat, but will sound familiar to people in Kashmir.
