TRT World, a Turkish news channel, and Global Times, a Chinese state-run media outlet, are now accessible again in India. The Indian government had briefly blocked both accounts due to concerns about spreading false information during recent tensions between India and Pakistan.

The ban on TRT World came shortly after a similar block on Global Times, which is known for promoting Chinese government views.
