New Delhi [India], September 11 (HBTV): Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma expressed concerns over fresh incidents of violence in Manipur and said the Government of India needs to intervene in this. 

"The situation that is constantly developing in Manipur is complex because there are people from different communities here and in a way history has also given rise to conflicts at many different levels in Manipur. So the current situation has also become quite complex. I believe that the Government of India needs to intervene in this, where we bring a political solution here, where we bring confidence from every community in a way so that we can bring everyone on one platform and decide how to move forward. It is very important to bring this thinking, this platform and this favorable environment and I believe that no one other than the Government of India will be able to do this," Sangma said. 

Amid the fresh violence that has engulfed the state of Manipur, the state government has imposed a ban on internet services in the state starting on Tuesday. 

In a notice issued by the Manipur government on Tuesday, it was noted that the ban on the internet is to prevent the spread of disinformation and false rumors, through various social media platforms such as WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
