Centre softens stance on download of Aarogya Setu app in lockdown 4.0 guidelines
In a major growth, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs on Sunday (May 17) scaled down its earlier directive on Aarogya Setu aap that had made it obligatory for a number of classes of individuals to obtain the app which has been designed to curb the unfold of coronavirus COVID-19.
The newest order launched by MHA on Sunday relating to Aarogya Setu highlighted the change in stand of the Centre with regards to downloading the app.
“With a view to ensuring safety in offices and workplaces, employers on best effort basis should ensure that Aarogya Setu is installed by all employees having compatible mobile phones. District authorities may advise individuals to install the Aarogya Setu application on compatible mobile phones and regularly update their health status on the app,” mentioned the MHA.
In its May 1 tips, the MHA had mentioned “use of Aarogya Setu app shall be mandatory for all employees, both private and public. It shall be the responsibility of the head of the respective organisation to ensure 100 per cent coverage of the app among the employees”.
The final tips mentioned that the native authority “shall ensure 100 per cent coverage of Aarogya Setu app among the residents of containment zones”, a degree which was not talked about in Sunday’s order.
It could also be recalled {that a} French hacker who goes by the title Elliot Alderson had claimed few days in the past that “a security issue has been found” within the app and that “privacy of 90 million Indians is at stake”.
The authorities rejected Alderson’s declare saying Aarogya Setu is free from any knowledge or safety breach and “no personal information of any user has been proven to be at risk by this ethical hacker”.
“We are continuously testing and upgrading our systems. Team Aarogya Setu assures everyone that no data or security breach has been identified,” the federal government had mentioned by the app’s Twitter deal with.
