India bans 118 more Chinese mobile apps, including PUBG
The Central government on Wednesday banned 118 Chinese mobile apps, including the popular game PUBG. As per the Union government the apps have been banned by the Ministry of Electronics & Information & Technology as, they were involved in events that are harmful to control, truthfulness, security & safety of the state and public order.
"This discrepancy will safety measure the welfares of crores of Indian mobile & virtual reality handlers. This verdict is a targeted change to confirm the safety, security & control of Indian World Wide Web," said a statement from the ministry.
The statement said it has acknowledged many complaints from many sources, as well as reports about misappropriation use of some mobile apps accessible on Android & iOS platforms, for thieving & surreptitiously spreading users’ data in an unauthorized way to servers placed outside India.
"The accumulating of these information, its exclusion & reporting by fundamentals incompatible to countrywide security & defense of India, which ultimately trespasses upon the sovereignty & veracity of India, is an element of very considerate & straight concern which needs emergency actions," it said.
The government had banned 59 Chinese apps on 29th June 2020 to guarantee the safety & sovereignty of Indian Internet. The list comprised apps like TikTok, Shareit, UC Browser, Helo, Likee, Mi Community, Virus Cleaner, Beauty Plus, WeChat, UC News, Weibo, Xender, Bigo Live, Cam Scanner, Clean Master – Cheetah Mobile, etc.
A month later it had banned 47 more apps for supposedly functioning as “replicas” of the earlier banned apps. With the fresh ban, the sum of Chinese apps banned in India now stands at 224.
The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre under the Ministry of Home Affairs has also sent a comprehensive recommendation for blocking these malicious apps, said the declaration. "Likewise, there have been equal mutual concerns, highlighted by numerous public administrations, both exterior & privileged the Parliament of India. There has been a solid refrain in the public space to take harsh action against apps that damage India’s control as well as the privacy of our residents," it added.
On the source of these & in receipt of of recent sincere efforts that evidence posted, consents sought, functionality implanted as well as data gathering practices of above-stated Apps raise serious apprehensions that these Apps collect & share data in secret way & conciliation individual data & info of users that can have a unembellished hazard to safety & security of the State.
The list now also contains apps like Baidu & WeChat but the biggest name on it is indisputably PUBG Mobile. The first time the government launched its “digital” strike on China to defence India’s confidentiality, safety & security, many were left speculating how & why PUBG Mobile had missed the ban. It could have been due to the app’s complicated — read, mixed — origin.
PUBG is an online multiplayer battle royal game made by South Korean video game company Bluehole subsidiary PUBG Corporation. But PUBG Mobile is not made by the same subsidiary. When PUBG Mobile was primarily launched, the object behind it was to make PUBG enter China as the game was banned there. The game was unrestricted in China only after Shenzhen-based Tencent Games accepted a 1.5% stake in Bluehole Studio, & this was how PUBG Mobile came into being. The rest is history.
With the government now banning PUBG Mobile, it is clear that it wants to set a solid superiority that the nation’s privacy cannot be taken for granted.
Both Google & Apple will have to obey with the new presiding & eliminate these apps, including PUBG Mobile, from the Play Store & App Store correspondingly. ISPs will also have to selectively block these apps so current users can’t access them till further announcement.

The Mother, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, is known for her immense work for the sick, the dying, the poor & the bereaved. Mother Teresa was such a big-hearted soul that when she won the Nobel Peace Prize “for work undertaken in the tussle to conquered poverty & stress, which also represents a threat to peace” in 1979, Though, she denied accepting it & encouraged the jury to support the prize money of USD 192,000 for facilitating the poor people of India. was subsequently worshiped as a Patron Saint by the Vatican Pope for her service to the needy & poor.

Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.

Priests also done ‘arti’ at famous Shri Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai, Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Ganpati Mandir in Pune Maharashtra & the Ganesh Temple in Delhi’s Connaught Place.
On the occasion, the temples & Ganpati idols are excellently decorated. Followers are visiting the temples to get the blessings of Lord Ganesha. Though, the number of people coming at the temples is less number as matched to previous years due to Covid-19 pandemic.
At the temples, priests were seen following Covid-19 set of rules, such as shielding their faces with mask & keeping social distancing to prevent the virus. ‘Hawan’ was also done in several temples along with chanting of mantras.
After 10 days of festivities, ultimately, the devotees attempt farewell to the elephant-god for the year by dipping it in water bodies.
Though, the festival this year is being celebrated in a much more constrained way during the global pandemic situation. The social distancing standards will avoid people to celebrate the festival in the gathering.
According, to new guidelines of the Ministry of Home affairs (MHA) announced on July 29, cultural & spiritual functions & other large crowds will resume to remain banned.
During the coronavirus pandemic & constraints on public group, the 10-day Ganesh festival commenced in Mumbai & other parts of Maharashtra on Saturday, even though the traditional ceremony & grandeur was disappeared this year.
The Maharashtra authority has issued standards concerning “Ganeshotsav festivities”, saying that demonstrations should not be taken out before installing & dipping the idols of the god.
It also said that the heights of Lord Ganesh idols fitted by Sarvajanik mandals & at household-level should be constrained to 4ft. & 2ft. correspondingly, this year. As a result, the number of people coming out in the market to buy Ganpati idols for fitting in their homes, housing societies & sarvajanik pandals, was restricted. The regular atmosphere & zeal of the festival was comparatively low this year.
Due to the restrained celebrations, small industries of that flourish during the festival, like flower suppliers, sweet shops, stores offering decoration items, artificial or costume jewelry, transporters got a hit. The pandemic also affected numerous others, including performers & carriers.
Nevertheless, in some common marketplaces like Dadar in central Mumbai, people yet came out in large numbers to purchase material required for decoration, puja rituals in the last couple of days.
Lalbaugcha Raja, Mumbai's popular sarvajanik Ganeshotsav mandal, cancelled the celebration this year in observation of the pandemic, while Wadala's GSB Sewa Samiti, believed to be one of the richest mandals in the metropolis, delayed the celebration to 'Magh Shudh Chaturthi' in February next year in 2021.
The usual pandal decorations in the city are disappeared this year & social happening have been substituted by public awareness programs & health checking camps by the pandals.
Since the last few days, Mumbai & the nearby areas have been observing heavy rains. The monsoon continued Saturday morning but still people stepped out to bring home the idols of the divinity amid sings 'Ganpati bappa moraya'. In some areas sparklers were also exploded to welcome the Lord Ganesh.
Chief Minister of Maharashtra Mr. Uddhav Thackeray also welcomed Lord Ganesh at his official house 'Varsha'. Some celebrities & political leaders also established the idols at their places.
The festival of Ganesh Chaturthi is also recognized as Vinayaka Chaturthi. It begins on the 4th day (chaturthi) of the month of Bhadrapada, the 6th month of the Hindu calendar. It finishes after 10 days on the day of Anant Chaturdashi, when the idol is flooded in the nearest body of water. Lord Ganesh is believed an expression of wisdom & generally admired as the remover of difficulties.
During the Covid-19 epidemic, Uttam Kumar, a Delhi-based idol maker is moving his artistic hands while giving finishing touches to a three-feet idol of Lord Ganesh. In Advance of Ganesh Chaturthi (August 22), idol makers around the city have been in full enthusiasm preparing Ganesh idols, in beliefs of meeting the customers demand.
Although artists have opened their booths, shops & are constantly involved in the making of idols, the business of these idol makers has been strongly obstructed due to the fears around coronavirus. Contrasting last year, the streets of A K Roy Marg, Matka Market, ahead of the festival, are remarkably vacant with only a few families coming in & placing their orders.
“Compared to last year, the sales have gone absolutely down. Creating of idols is our family business, & we have been preparing it for years & years. This could be the first time that we are encountering such drop-in orders from customers,” said Uttam Kumar to ANI, an idol maker who has his stall in Matka Market, near Sarojini Nagar.
Talking about the planning, the 30-year-old artist noted that the organizing & supplies of materials started three-four months back. Most of the items & many Ganesh idols in their stalls are from Kolkata.
“We began the preparation in the month of April-June, but even the raw material & supplies to reach here in Delhi from Kolkata had issues due to the constraints of movement due to Covid-19,” he added.
Another lady, though gently taking her 4-feet-tall Ganesh idol made of mud, back to her stall during the drizzling rain talked to ANI about how most stalls in Matka Market have focused on preventing idols made of PoP (Plaster of Paris).
The artist who did not wish to disclose her name said, after the choice to call off the use of PoP by the groups, many amongst them have made a sensible attempt to make idols of mud or clay or the ones that are not dangerous to nature.
Though, she stated that only families, who are ready to take home Ganesh “murti” are coming to place orders, but not many pandal coordinators have contacted them so far to purchase or place orders for Ganesh idols for the celebration. “There are no majority-orders, unlike last year & family is also aware of buying idols that are of short-height.”
For the Time Being, Ajay Shastri & Neelima Bhagwat, the husband-wife duo who organizes eco-friendly Ganesh idols shop at Jankakpuri, Desu colony, are also encountering minor problems in their sales for this year.
The couple, who have been operating the shop for the last 8 years have since then dedicated on making Ganesh idols, entirely out of clay, & other eco-friendly materials that are in no way dangerous to the ecosystem.
The 12-15 worker, who are working for them from Mumbai are also encountering effects due to the hit of Covid-19. Not only for of the propagated of the virus but also the heavy rain that the coastal state had to suffer in recent times, caused unhappiness between the idol makers. “They are facing monetary problems & the employment cost has also grown,” said Shastri to ANI.
Talking about his business, here in Delhi, the proprietor said: “The major discrepancy this year is that clients who used to get 18-24 ft. Ganesh idols every year, have ordered 6-8 ft. idols this year”. Having a varied range in the size of idols from 6ft. to highest 24-ft., the couple’s business, according to them is going “fine”, nevertheless they are concentrating on making more small-sized idols to meet the increasing demand.
The 10-day celebrations of Ganesh Chaturthi, the birth anniversary of Lord Ganesha, had begun on August 22. The festivities will end with the final absorption of the Ganesha idols, called the Visarjan. The festival is celebrated with much magnificence in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Gujarat among other states.
