‘Sanchar Saathi Won’t Track Data’: Govt Fact-Checks Opposition’s ‘Snooping’ Charge | India News

Last Updated:December 02, 2025, 20:36 IST The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) stated that the app’s sole purpose is to secure mobile identities, without accessing or tracking personal data. Sanchar Saathi’ App | Representative Image Amid a political row over the decision to pre-install the Sanchar Saathi app on all new mobile phones, the government on Tuesday said the application will “not monitor user activity, nor will it function as a surveillance tool.” The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) stated that the app’s sole purpose is to secure mobile identities, without accessing or tracking personal data. “Sanchar Saathi App will come pre-installed, but that will not mean it’s watching you. It will not act as a surveillance tool, and it will not track your data in any way. Its only job will be to protect your mobile identity without accessing your personal information,” DoT said. The clarification came after the opposition launched sharp attacks, alleging that the government was attempting to introduce a “snooping mechanism” comparable to Pegasus. Earlier, the DoT had informed manufacturers that Sanchar Saathi …

Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025, IND vs PAK: Controversy erupts as catch by Indians is ruled as dot ball | Cricket News

Trust an India vs Pakistan game to have a flashpoint that will turn in to a controversy. After the recent Asia Cup tournament, where there were controversies galore, there was a fresh controversy in the Asia Cup Rising Stars 2025 tournament when the India A team faced Pakistan Shaheens (Pakistan A) on Sunday evening. Pakistan won the contest by eight wickets, reaching the target of 137 set by India with 40 balls remaining, but not before there was a moment which was bizarre. The incident happened on the first ball of the 10th over. Suyash Sharma’s delivery to Maaz Sadaqat was hit away to the ropes by the Pakistan batter, who was batting on 56 from 36 balls when the incident happened. Before the ball could cross the ropes for a maximum, two Indian fielders, Nehal Wadhera and Naman Dhir, completed a relay catch. Or so the Indians thought. TV replays show that Nehal has grabbed the ball after making a sprint to his right, but as he starts to fall, he throws the ball …

Reliance Jio Reportedly Seeks DoT Approval to Use 26GHz Band for Wi-Fi Services

Reliance Jio Reportedly Seeks DoT Approval to Use 26GHz Band for Wi-Fi Services

Reliance Jio is said to have sought permission from the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) in a move geared towards the expansion of its Wi-Fi services. According to a report, the mobile operator has requested approval from the telecom watchdog to use a spectrum in the 26GHz band, which is designated for the potential large-scale deployment of 5G network in the future. Notably, this move comes after Adani Group’s decision to sell its 400MHz spectrum to Bharti Airtel last month after failing to identify a viable use case. Citing unnamed officials, Financial Express reports that Jio has made this request under the Notice Inviting Applications (NIA) for Auction of Spectrum for IMT/5G Telecom Services in which Adani Data Networks Limited emerged as a successful bidder of the 26GHz band before ultimately selling it off to Airtel in April this year. The Clause 2.3 of the NIA reportedly mandates telecom operators to obtain prior approval from DoT to use spectrum, which has originally been assigned for mobile technologies like 5G, for any other alternate services, in this …

Bengaluru: Giant cutouts, flexes dot Govindraj Nagar roads for MLA’s birthday despite ban

MURALI KUMAR Despite a ban on banners, cutouts, and wall paintings in Bengaluru, several stretches across the city remain dotted with them. In Govindaraj Nagar, giant cutouts and flexes wishing local Congress MLA Priya Krishna for his birthday on April 27 have drawn sharp criticism from residents. Large life-sized images of the MLA were also painted on public walls, while flexes and cutouts lined key roads in the locality. Many residents called the displays an eyesore and questioned the blatant violation of civic rules. “It is shocking that public spaces are being misused like this even when there is a clear ban. It completely ruins the look of the neighbourhood,” said Arun Kumar, a resident of Viajayanagar. Another resident, Meena R., added, “Instead of beautifying the area, our elected representatives are defacing it for personal publicity.” The Hindu attempted to contact Priya Krishna multiple times for a comment, but he remained unreachable. Meanwhile, Bruhat …

Hardik Pandya with two wickets and 31 dot balls helps India apply brakes on Pakistan

Hardik Pandya with two wickets and 31 dot balls helps India apply brakes on Pakistan

As Saud Shakeel holed out at the deep, Hardik Pandya’s jubilation knew no bounds. In his career, has done it all – bowling last over thrillers in T20s, providing key breakthroughs every now and then. During the 2023 World Cup, an injury he suffered showed how much it alters the balance of the side, even if it allowed Mohammed Shami to have a tournament to remember. On Sunday, against Pakistan, Pandya showed he is as good as any frontline bowler, when he is fit and firing.Coming into the tournament, Pandya knew he would have a huge role to play with the ball, particularly given India leaning towards a three-spinner strategy. With Jasprit Bumrah unavailable, and given Mohammed Shami’s ordinary returns in the middle overs and Harshit Rana’s inexperience, for India’s spinners to be effective they needed Pandya more than ever with the ball.

Ind vs Pak Emotional Rollercoaster: Dot balls impede Pakistan, Hardik entraps Saud Shakeel & Axar direct throws apply brakes as Pak reach 241 | Cricket News

Mohammed Shami, at his best, is at it from the word go. When he is in rhythm, he hardly wastes any time in hitting the right lines and lengths. But it wasn’t the case on Sunday as he struggled to get his radar right. In an over that would have given flashbacks to 90s kids of the stat to the 2003 World Cup final, Shami had to bowl 11 deliveries to complete a legal 6-ball over. It wasn’t quite like the 15 runs that Zaheer Khan conceded that forgettable day in Johannesburg, but it was the first sign that something was off with Shami in Dubai. He then went off the field, pointing to his shoes. By the time he got close to finishing his third over, the physio was out, massaging his right calf. Shami then slow-walked into the dressing room. A couple of days after his 5-for, it was a worrying start to the big day for India’s ICC hero. Somewhere in Dubai, Sunil Gavaskar must have muttered to himself that cricket is …
