The Indian government on Tuesday blocked 43 mobile applications in "for engaging in activities prejudicial to India's sovereignty, integrity, defence, security and public order".

The decision was taken by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, reports the News 18. 

India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology issued the order to blocking access to these apps by users in India based on reports received from Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
