Local internet services across several areas of India’s National Capital Territory were reportedly shut down on Tuesday, with local Indian users uploading screenshots of text messages to social media reading: “as per government instructions internet services have been stopped in your area until further notice.”

The move comes as hundreds of thousands of Indian farmers organized a “tractor rally” in Delhi on the country’s National Republic Day. While the demonstration had originally received a permit from authorities to move along certain routes, protestors in several areas reportedly burst through police barricades and even entered the city’s infamous Red Fort.
