Checking China: India bans another 118 Chinese apps including PUBG

Amid fresh incursion bids by Chinese troops, the government on Wednesday banned another 118 Chinese mobile apps, including the popular gaming platform PUBG as well as Baidu, which is China’s largest search engine provider.

The government has once again resorted to invoking Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, which empowers it to block apps/contents which are engaged in activities prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of the country, its defence, security of state and public order.
