PUBG Mobile among 117 additional Chinese apps was banned for breaking section 69A of the Indian IT act.

According to the PIB (Press Information Bureau), 118 Chinese apps including PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite were banned because these apps were engaged in activities which were prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state, and public order.

"This move will safeguard the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users. This decision is a targeted move to ensure the safety, security, and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace". PIB tweeted on Twitter.

Furthermore, The ministry of electronics and information technology has received many complaints from various sources including several reports about misusing users data by these Chinese apps; PUBG Mobile was on the list of complaints.

The complaint against these apps tells that these Chinese apps are harmful to national security and the defence of India.

Since the clash between the Indian and Chinese soldiers took place, The Indian government is taking action against China by banning the Chinese apps which are harmful to national security.

Earlier this year, The Indian government banned Chinese apps including TikTok and said 275 more Chinese apps including PUBG are on the list and will be examined accordingly.

The Indian government said if any Chinese app violates the Indian IT act and found harmful for national security will face a permanent ban.

"In the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India and security of the State. And using the sovereign powers, the Government of India has decided to block the usage of certain Apps, used in both mobile and non-mobile Internet-enabled devices". PIB said on its website

This move will safeguard the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users. This decision is a targeted move to ensure the safety, security, and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace. PIB added on its website.

Moreover, the IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said that "India will become a big center of Made In India apps"
