Right-wing Hindutva group Bajrang Dal held a celebratory bike rally in Jammu on Sunday, 18 August, to observe what they called the “Akhand Bharat Day”.
Mobile internet was disconnected in Jammu the same day, barely days after it was fully restored. While the administration blamed a mechanical glitch, NDTV reported that, according to local sources, mobile internet had been disconnected to keep the peace during a rally by right wing groups and to avert any violence.
