Internet shut down after violence in Delhi, now find out how people are sending messages on WhatsApp

Tech Desk: What happened in Delhi on January 26, no one even imagined. On January 26, people were celebrating the 72nd Republic Day, but then the rioters started rioting in the name of a tractor rally in the Red Fort and in many places in Delhi. Violent demonstrations took place in many places. Police were attacked and several were injured. Internet service was shut down at several places in Delhi after the violence. So that no one can aggravate the violence by posting any kind of inflammatory. But in this situation, the question arises whether people can send messages online even after the internet service is shut down or not?

Internet service was shut down in many parts of Delhi after the violence in the Kisan Andolan on January 26. Even before this, when there is violence in India many times, the government shuts down the internet service. In such a situation people do not understand how this is done?

In today’s time most people are active on the internet. In such cases, many kinds of inflammatory posts are also made. If there is violence in any place then such posts can spread even more violence there. So the internet service is shut down there.

Many people feel that by shutting down the internet service, people there cannot use the net. However, this is not the case. Even after shutting down the internet service, people are able to use the net in the area. This allows people to send messages even without internet. Let us explain how?

This is done via WiFi. It has the option of file transfer. Also messages can be sent via Bluetooth. You do not need to have internet pack active in your SIM card for this.

This is called a mesh network. When multiple mobile WiFi or Bluetooth networks are brought together, it is called mesh network. However, it has its own limitations. These only work up to a certain range.

There are many countries in the world where people use mesh network in case of violence when internet service is shut down. The same thing happened in Hong Kong. Then many people had succeeded in sending messages by mashing the internet network together.
