Truecaller row: TRAI seeks power under IT Act to act
Telecom regulator TRAI has sought to be designated as an ‘authorised agency’ under the IT Act, a status that would allow it to act against call management apps, and the matter is now being examined by the IT Ministry, according to sources.
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) on Friday had asserted that no app can block phone calls originating from 1600 number series that are meant for communications by regulated entities and the Government to citizens.
