Internet services on cellphones to remain suspended in Surat today

Surat, Sept 20 (IBNS): Internet services on cellphone will continue to remain suspended in many parts of Gujarat on Sunday after it was stopped on Saturday for 24 hours following Hardik Patel's arrest, media reports said.
The services are expected to be resumed in Ahmedabad on Sunday night. 
 
But in Surat, Rajkot and other parts of Saurashtra, which had witnessed aggressive protest by the Patel community which is demanding reservations, the services will remain suspended, reports said.
 
Hours after he was arrested, a court here granted bail to Hardik Patel, the 22-year-old leader of Gujarat's Patel community, on Saturday.
 
He was detained and later arrested by the police after he tried to take out a protest march here.
 
Gujarat authorities on Friday denied permission to Patel for his  'Ekta Yatra'.
 
"We will request the people of Gujarat to support our cause. We are not against any community. We are just fighting to get reservation for our community," Hardik had told reporters on Friday.
 
In the past two weeks, Hardik had twice announced to take out the "reverse Dandi March", but he had to cancel  the plan after the district administration denied permission.
