The government had alleged that the 59 banned apps were engaged in activities that were “prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, the security of the state and public order.”

As per an ET report, the new list consists of 275 apps that can face the axe of the government. 

A senior government official has also told ET that the government has formed a process for such bans and the ministry in concern has been asked to frame a law for the constant examination of the apps in India.
