Telegram ban affects 15 crore users

According to lawyers associated with this case, this temporary ban has affected more than 15 crore users of Telegram in India.
The Center had given this order on the request of the National Testing Agency (NTA). NTA had alleged that some organized cheating gangs are using Telegram for the NEET-UG re-exam to be held on June 21. Through this they are misleading the candidates and cheating them.

Telegram access closed

Following the government’s directive, telecom operators reportedly started blocking access to Telegram, while the app was also removed from major app stores. The government has described this move as a temporary and targeted measure aimed at preventing paper leaks and related scams ahead of the re-examination.

Is it the right decision of the government to shut down Telegram?

  • Telegram founder Pavel Durov has criticized this ban order. He said that the platform has already removed hundreds of channels on which content related to the paper leak and scams were allegedly being shared.
  • Durov said that this ban is affecting millions of ordinary users and illegal activities will shift to some other platform.
  • NTA justified its decision saying that it was necessary to ensure a fair and safe examination process. The agency also said that this ban is for a limited time and will be lifted after the re-examination.
  • Now it is expected that the Delhi High Court will examine the legal validity and necessity of this decision of the government. Besides, its impact on users and digital communication services will also be examined.
