Sudden shutdown of internet

By Amina Begum, Barisal

This is in reference to the news report, “Sudden shutdown follows verdict,” published in The Daily Star on November 19. The state minister for telecommunication and the BTRC chairman said that the internet was mistakenly cut off. I want to point out that nowadays, many businesses are largely dependent on digital platforms. There are many businesses which are booming through Facebook. The government should build the capacity to monitor Facebook instead of blocking it.
