Manipur govt revises order imposing internet ban to cover 5 districts, not entire state
The Manipur government, in a revised order on Tuesday, barred mobile internet services in five districts, instead of the whole state as announced earlier
Nagaland Chief Minister Shurhozelie Liezietsu on Tuesday brushed aside reports that his Naga People's Front (NPF) will not support the new non-Congress coalition government in Manipur.
The NPF chief said that it "did not put any pre-condition" before joining the BJP-led coalition arrangement in Manipur and such reports are absolutely false.

The NPF is a major coalition partner of the North East Democratic Alliance formed last May in Guwahati with the declared aim of ridding the Congress party from the region and to bring all-round development to this part of the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

It has also been in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party and other non-Congress political parties in Nagaland since 2003 under the banner of the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland.
