Mobile Internet restored in Bangladesh

The mobile Internet connection was restored in Bangladesh on Sunday, 10 days after it was restricted by authorities across the country to stop the spread of fake news on social media amidst the deadly nationwide violence over reforms in the quota system in government jobs.

Minister of State for Information and Communication Technology Zunaid Ahmed Palak announced that 5GB Internet will be given for free to all users for three days after the connection is restored, the Dhaka Tribune newspaper reported.
