Authorities in Jammu and Kashmir’s Rajouri district have suspended all Virtual Private Network (VPN) services for two months, citing security concerns and public safety. District Magistrate Abhishek Sharma issued the directive under Section 163 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita following alarming reports from Senior Superintendent of Police Gaurav Sikarwar regarding suspicious use of VPNs to facilitate unlawful activities. The order aims to prevent the potential misuse of these platforms for anti-national purposes, including the dissemination of inflammatory content and coordination of activities threatening public order. This action underscores the ongoing challenges of ensuring cybersecurity and maintaining law and order in a region with heightened sensitivities.
