Earlier, taking note of the tensions in the capital following three blasts on Friday and an attack on the oldest Baptist church in Manipur on Friday, the state government decided to shut down internet services in the Imphal West district.

Vehicles coming from the Naga-dominated hill districts towards Imphal were burnt.
There has also been a spike in incidents of attacks by suspected Naga terror groups like the in the state in recent weeks.
The economic blockade and the terror strikes are seen as a response to the government's decision to carve out seven new districts in the state. The Naga groups allege the new districts encroach on their ancestral land.
A group around 70 suspected Naga terrorists attacked a police post on Saturday, stealing nine automatic weapons and leaving two policemen injured.
The attack came on the day of a dawn-to-dusk shutdown called by civil society groups against the economic blockade.
