West Bengal experienced violent protests against the Waqf Act, leading to injuries among police and widespread disruption. Protests erupted after Friday prayers, with road and railway blockades, stone-throwing incidents, and clashes requiring police intervention. The unrest forced internet suspensions, prompting government officials to urge immediate action against those responsible.
The Supreme Court addressed internet bans in Jammu & Kashmir, emphasizing transparency in review orders. The bench highlighted the need to publish these orders while balancing national security and civil liberties. The Additional Solicitor General was given two weeks to respond. This case sets a precedent for handling and disclosing review orders related to internet bans.
