Most part of the southern and central India seems to be affected. Internet Service Providers like YOU, AIRTEL, Reliance Communications have been affected and have already informed their users about the issue.

In future, we may have some relief with the third Internet Gateway getting ready at Agartala.

    Even the email of one of our companies is down as it is Chennai based. Murphy (or at least his law) is quite active in these situations. A lot of urgent work on hand requires data I have on that mail.
