In a bid to ensure a ‘free, fair, and transparent’ Grade III examination, Assam has temporarily suspended mobile internet services across the state. This decision aims to prevent cheating and disruptions during the crucial exam period.
However, the suspension has significant implications for both businesses and daily life. With mobile internet services halted, many local businesses that rely on digital transactions and online communication are facing operational challenges. From small shops to larger enterprises, the inability to process online payments and access digital tools is causing disruptions.
Daily activities are also affected, as residents find themselves cut off from essential online services, including banking and communication apps. The temporary measure highlights the delicate balance between maintaining exam integrity and managing the impacts on everyday life and business operations.
Authorities assure that the suspension is a necessary step to uphold the integrity of the examination process, but the community is bracing for the short-term inconveniences as the state works to ensure a smooth examination period.
