The Leh district administration has taken decisive action to combat the spread of misinformation on social media, implementing a ban on fake news for two months following violent unrest on September 24, which resulted in four fatalities. Mobile internet services were also restored after a two-week suspension aimed at re-establishing order. District Magistrate Romil Singh Donk emphasized that the spread of rumors could disrupt public peace, leading to this legal intervention under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. Administrators of social media groups have been mandated to monitor and control content, ensuring that misinformation is promptly removed. This initiative underscores the importance of maintaining social stability in sensitive regions like Leh, highlighting the challenges posed by digital misinformation in a rapidly evolving information landscape.
