It stated that the prolonged ban on internet in Manipur has adversely affected the student community in particular and public in general not only in Senapati district alone but the entire district of Manipur.

Earlier, the SDSA had served a 24 hours ultimatum to the State government to restore mobile internet in Senapati district by October 4. After the Government's failure, SDSA had started economic blockade along NH-2 starting from 6 pm on 5th October.

However, the Naga People’s Organisation had advised the SDSA to call off the economic blockade, citing a reason that it was in violation of the NPO standing resolution adopted on June 28, 2011.
