Gaon Savera’s social media handles blocked after ‘correspondence’ from Indian government

The social media handles of independent news website Gaon Savera were blocked this week. The website’s Twitter account was withheld in India on Tuesday, and its Facebook page has been inaccessible since Monday.

Mandeep Punia, the editor of Gaon Savera, told Newslaundry the website did not receive any communication from Facebook, now Meta, before the suspension of its page. Newslaundry reached out to the social media giant but did not receive a response.
