Well I am from the effected area. Believe it or not this move has surely helped to maintain peace. No doubt it has effected many peoples work. But this was one of quickest way to control mass communication.
Plus the ban is on 2G/3G & SMS on mobile network not on broad band or usual wired network.

Not quite state of war, but heading that way. But when that's not explicit, it becomes hard to tell whether or not one is living in a police state.
