Smuggled Starlink devices allegedly used to defy India’s internet shutdowns
70% Informative
Starlink is currently unlicensed for use in India amid security concerns but is allowed by Myanmar , which neighbours Manipur .
The north-east Indian state has been engulfed in a deadly conflict since May 2023 between the majority Meitei population and the minority Kuki population.
As the state and national governments have failed to bring the security situation under control, they have repeatedly shutdown all internet access across Manipur , often for months or weeks at a time.
But multiple sources, both within armed groups and the police, confirmed that Starlink satellite internet worked in several areas of Manipur and had been used by individuals and militants groups.
