Indefinite curfew also clamped in five of these districts -- Imphal East, Imphal West, Bishnupur, Thoubal and Kakching.

The Manipur government on Monday extended the suspension of mobile internet and data services for two more days in seven trouble-torn districts, officials said.

Home Department officials said that the violence-hit Jiribam district, however, remained out of the purview of the suspension of mobile internet and data services.

Commissioner, Home, N.
