The Government today said that it has not issued any fresh blocking order and has no intention to block any prominent international News Channels including Reuters and ReutersWorld.

Ministry of Electronics and IT said, the moment Reuters and ReutersWorld were blocked on X platform in India, immediately the government wrote to ‘X’ to unblock them. It said, the Government continuously engaged and vigorously pursued with ‘X’ from the late night of 5th July 2025. The Ministry said, ‘X’ has un-necessarily exploited technicalities involved around the process and didn’t unblock the URLs.

However, after lot of follow up on hourly basis, X has finally unblocked Reuters and other URLs after 9 pm on 6th July 2025. It said, ‘X’ took more than 21 hours to unblock Reuters.
