India Today  

In a big move, India banned at least 59 Chinese mobile apps, including widely used TikTok, Shareit, WeChat, UC Browser among others. The Ministry of Information Technology cited cybersecurity concerns in blocking the Chinese apps from one of the largest and fastest-growing markets in the world. As per senior government officials, the ban was imposed as the apps were being used to harm India’s defences. The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, Ministry of Home Affairs has also sent an exhaustive recommendation for blocking of these malicious apps.
