While the Uttarakhand High Court has asked to block 857 websites, the Ministry of Electronics and IT (Meity) has found 30 portals without any pornographic content.
Meity has asked the Department of Telecom (DoT) to block 827 websites named in the list issued as part of the order. The high court order was issued on September 27, 2018, and it was received by Meity on October 8.
