This will be the second major action against Chinese apps.
The Centre on Monday banned over 50 new Chinese mobile applications, including Rising of Kingdoms: Lost Crusade, Tencent Xriver, Nice Video Baidu, and Viva Video Editor, due to concerns related to privacy and national security.
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has issued interim directions for blocking 54 apps, sources said, adding that these applications would ban for the security purpose of the nation.
