BTRC blocks 54 web portals again

Hours after unblocking 58 news portals, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has blocked 54 of them again.

Emdadul Haque, secretary general of Internet Service Providers' Association of Bangladesh (ISPAB), said that they blocked 54 websites again on Monday night as per BTRC's instruction.

He, however, said four of the websites that were unblocked earlier will remain open. These are poriborton.com, priyo.com, risingbd.com, and dhakatimes24.com.

Earlier in the day, BTRC unblocked the 58 news portal after blocking those on Sunday, according to a UNB report.

BRTC Senior Assistant Director (Media) Jakir Hossain Khan said the websites were unblocked after 5:00pm as per government directives.

On Sunday, BTRC ordered the International Internet Gateway (IIG) operators to block the access to 58 news portals as per the recommendations of the government and law enforcement agencies.

"We gave the order based on recommendations from the government and law enforcement agencies," Jakir earlier told news agency UNB.

BTRC had cited security concerns for the decision but had not elaborated the reasons.
