This comes on the heels of an Internet shutdown that took place early in the morning on August 2, when Internet access in a commercial area of Dhaka was cut off for 3.5 hours as part of a government-enforced “drill” to test the capabilities of telecommunications agencies in the country. 
Hili linajitokeza katika mkanganyiko wa kufungiwa kwa mtandao wa internet kulikofanyika asubuhi ya tarehe 2 Agosti, wakati mtandao wa internet ulipokatwa katika mji wa kibiashara wa Dhaka kwa masaa matatu na nusu kama sehemu ya serikali kutekeleza mpango wa kujaribu uwezo wa mashirika ya simu nchini.
