The suspension of mobile internet and bulk SMS services came into effect at 12:00 AM on June 8, 2026, and has been ordered for 24 hours. Services are expected to be restored around 12:00 AM on June 9, 2026, unless authorities extend the restrictions.

Which Areas Are Affected?

The restrictions have been imposed in the Jaipur North and Jaipur East police districts. Mobile internet services were ordered to remain suspended beginning at midnight ahead of the scheduled anti-encroachment operation.

Residents in these areas may experience disruption in:

• Mobile data services
• Social media access through mobile networks
• Bulk SMS messaging services
• Internet-based communication apps using mobile data

Voice calling services are generally unaffected unless specifically mentioned in official orders.

What Is the Reason Behind The Shutdown?

Officials have cited law-and-order concerns as the primary reason for the temporary communication restrictions. Authorities often use such measures during sensitive operations to curb the rapid spread of unverified information that could trigger unrest or crowd mobilisation. The anti-encroachment drive is expected to involve significant administrative and police deployment, making public order a top priority for the district administration.

How Long Will The Restrictions Continue?

The latest reports indicate that the suspension was ordered for a limited period, beginning at midnight Sunday, in connection with the scheduled operation Monday. Services are expected to be restored around 12:00 AM on June 9, 2026, unless authorities extend the restrictions.

Impact On Residents And Businesses

The temporary shutdown may affect:

• Online payments through mobile networks
• Ride-hailing and delivery services
• Social media communication
• Small businesses dependent on mobile internet
• Students and remote workers using mobile data connections

Residents have been advised to make necessary arrangements and opt for broadband or fixed-line internet services wherever feasible. Authorities have urged citizens not to believe or spread unverified information and to only follow updates from official government and police sources. The administration has stressed that the restrictions are preventive in nature and are solely aimed at ensuring the peaceful execution of the anti-encroachment drive.
