What counts.
A deliberate disruption of internet or electronic communications that makes access unavailable or effectively unusable for a population or location.
The signal can stop.
The record cannot.
Connectivity disappears quietly. This file keeps the count, the method, and the disagreement between trackers visible.

The districts are not in this release.
District dates, stated justifications, and affected-population denominators have not passed this repository’s publication checks.
Whose count.
Access Now publishes an annual global dataset. SFLC.in maintains a separate India tracker. Methods and verification windows can differ.
What stays separate.
The file does not force rival counts into one false total. Each source keeps its own definition, date, and denominator.
