A crucial move has been taken by the Ministry of Information Technology (Meity) according to which, India has banned 59 Chinese Apps popular names among these are TikTok, Shareit, UC Browser, and more.

This move will safeguard the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users. This decision is a targeted move to ensure the safety and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace.”
