These apps, an official told Hindustan Times on the condition of anonymity, were largely being used in Jammu and Kashmir. “The move came after agencies informed Meity that terrorists were using these applications to communicate, for spreading terror in the region,” the official said.

Also, since June 2020, the Centre has banned several apps, including those from China, on the grounds of national security.
