Twitter is not very happy with this move:
Walking back from the #CABProtests in Delhi — crowds growing by the minute, even though the powers that be shut down Janpath and other metro stations.

Internet shutdowns, entire states shut down, metro shutdowns, but you can’t shut the people down. Not forever. pic.twitter.com/pkE6D5xKUZ
Yes couldn’t access the internet at the protest. Was wondering if others had the same experience.

Yes, enjoy the disruption, violence and destruction of public property. I can feel your thrill in seeing the country burn!
