YouTube channels of four Bangladeshi TV channels blocked in India

The Indian government has blocked YouTube access to four Bangladeshi television channels—Jamuna TV, Ekattor TV, BanglaVision, and Mohona TV— citing national security concerns.

The Indian government requested the removal of these channels, and YouTube complied by restricting access within India, reports local media.

When attempting to view these channels from an Indian IP address, users encounter a message stating that the content is unavailable due to a government order related to national security or public order.

This action aligns with India's broader efforts to regulate online content that it deems a threat to national security. In recent years, India has blocked several YouTube channels, including those based in Pakistan, for disseminating information considered harmful to the country's sovereignty and public order.

The blocking of these Bangladeshi channels underscores the Indian government's commitment to controlling digital content that may impact its national interests.
