Residents of both urban and rural areas of Jind, Rohtak, Kaithal, Sonipat, and Jhajjar districts have been protesting against the Internet ban for the last one week or so.

Apart from school and college students, the suspension of Internet services has also hit those preparing for competitive exams.
