NEW DELHI—The Indian government banned 43 more Chinese apps on Nov. 24 saying they are “prejudicial” to India’s sovereignty and integrity.

“This action was taken based on the inputs regarding these apps for engaging in activities that are prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, the security of the state, and public order,” the Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology said in a release on Tuesday.
