Sambalpur: After being suspended for 10 days in the aftermath of violence during Hanuman Jayanti celebrations here, mobile internet services resumed in Odisha's Sambalpur town, today.

The services were restricted since April 13 to curb circulation of inflammatory messages and prevent misuse of social media.

While internet connectivity on broadband and leased line was restored on Friday, the same for mobile phone users was kept suspended.

On the other hand, curfew timings have been relaxed from 5 am to 8 pm here.

Notably, a motorcycle rally was taken out in the town on April 12 ahead of Hanuman Jayanti. While the rally was passing through Motijharan Square, some persons pelted stones at the participants of the rally.

The incident subsequently led to a clash between two groups. Many shops and vehicles were set on fire during the clash.

Several persons, including police personnel, were injured in the incident.
