India's Department of Telecommunications has issued instructions to Internet Service Licensees to block access to 78 URLs from India. 73 of these are related to the educational institution IIPM. The blocks follow from an interim court order. It covers the University Grants Commission, wherein a notice from the UGC pointing towards the unrecognized status of IIPM has been ordered to be blocked. Media sites Caravan and firstpost.com, and blogs of serveral mainstream media outlets such as Outlook and the Wall Street Journal are among those whose articles have been blocked. (Medianama)
