Govt to issue strict operational guidelines to deter Chinese apps

<p>MeitY may form a set of guidelines to regulate apps&rsquo; operations. The new set of guidelines is for firms from neighbouring countries with shared Indian border. One such instruction is to store data within India. Hence, to operate in India, Chinese firms will be compelled to meet strict govt. guidelines right from the start. Also, telecom operators will have to compulsorily store data locally for 3 months. This will enable supervision on anti-national activities.</p>
