There was a constant discussion online on how some netizens are unable to use social media. Apparently, the reason is government’s directions to the ISP’s to take the social media services down.

At the moment, Government is cracking down a sit-in process taking place at Faizabad which has made the transportation between the twin cities almost impossible.

Users are able to access social media through direct stand-online applications but no through web browsers.
