After facing massive outburst of Twitteratis following the suspension of Army’s Chinar Corps’ handle on Friday, the social media platform restored the account the same day.
Army’s Srinagar based Chinar Corps handles most of theanti-militancy operations along the Line of Control (LoC) and within Kashmir.
While Twitter India did not reveal the reason behindsuspension of the account, a spokesperson said the platform has a policy of notcommenting on individual accounts.
Meanwhile, users took to the platform to vent their anger onthe issue.”Are u losing ur mind @Twitter @TwitterIndia? What is the reasonfor this? Whose complaint did u respond to n act ? Needs to undo asap,”wrote Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
He even called for scrutiny on Twitter’s”algorithms” and conduct better regulation.
“Twitter is gone berserk from @TrueIndologyliv toChinar corps… They are trying every bit to suppress the voices ofIndians,” posted another user.The account was, however, later restored.”#ChinarCorps Twitter handle is fully functional & verified now. Thankyou all for the constant support, encouragement & suggestions.#MissionPeaceKashmir #AwaamArmyConnect #TerrorismFreeKashmir,” ChinarCorps said in a tweet.
