\u00a0The suggestion of slowing down the internet speed from fourth generation (4G) to 2G came from a high level police meeting on Thursday.
\nPolice sources said students are using social networking sites, like Facebook, to spread their movement.<\/p>\n

The students are making various comments on Facebook. A decision has been taken to identify the Facebook ID of such users.<\/p>\n
