Centre sends notices to Amazon, Flipkart, other e-commerce platforms over illegal sale of walkie-talkies

The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) under the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution has issued notices to 13 online commerce platforms, including Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and OLX, for allegedly selling walkie-talkies without adhering to mandatory licensing and disclosure norms.

The move comes in the wake of Operation Sindoor as such non-compliant devices could also pose a national security threat.
