Explanation: Google Street View service allows users to have a panoramic view of places in cities, as they would look in real life. It had proposed to establish the service in India and had asked for the security clearance from the Indian Government. In April 2015, Google representatives had made a presentation on Street View for the Ministry of Home Affairs. They had told the officials then that the platform would be useful for tourism and disaster management. According to media reports a technical committee of the Defence Ministry, which comprises officials from Indian Air Force, Military Intelligence, Navy, Army and Intelligence Bureau, had unanimously opposed the service. The main concern was security of sensitive defence installations. The Defence Ministry said it was not possible to monitor the service once it was launched and it would be detrimental to national security.. Check Detail EXPLANATION at INDIA GK Mobile App.
