Bihar Social Media Ban: Bihar Suspends Social Media Platforms After Violence Amid Student Protests

Bihar has ordered a temporary suspension of social media platforms following violence amid ongoing student protests over the NEET paper leak issue. According to the report, the state Home Department has imposed the restriction until July 26, while student organizations have called for a Bihar bandh. The latest action comes after violent protests in Patna on July 22, with videos of clashes and unusual scenes involving protesters and police barricades going viral on social media. The agitation has reportedly spread beyond Patna to several parts of Bihar. In Jehanabad, heavy firing was reported during clashes, while in Begusarai, students allegedly pelted stones at the district administration office, prompting police action. Authorities in Katihar reportedly shut the collectorate gates amid protests, while the situation in Muzaffarpur remained relatively peaceful but security was tightened as a precaution. The developments have raised serious concerns over law and order as student protests continue across Bihar and other parts of the country.
