NEW DELHI: International news agency Reuters’ X account was withheld in India for a few hours but restored later on Sunday after the government intervened to say it had not sought the blocking of the handle.
Reuters’ X account was blocked from being accessed in India overnight, leading to speculations.
The government asked the Elon Musk-owned platform for an explanation and said that it had not sought such a move. X restored access to the account shortly after.
