Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) has asked International Internet Gateway (IIG) services to block 35 web portals in Bangladesh.‘The commission has taken the decision to block the web portals following recommendations of an intelligence agency as those contain offensive contents,’ BTRC Chairman Shahjahan Mahmood told journalists on Thursday night.Amar Desh’s website could not be opened like ‘Sheersha News’ on Thursday night.The government cancelled Amar Desh’s licence several years ago on the ground of alleged ‘non-existence of a legal publisher.’It has been operating as an internet newspaper since then.The blocked websites, according to the IIG operators, are:www.rtnews24.com,www.haquekotha.com,www.amrabnp.com, www.real-timenews.com, www.bnation24.com, www.nationnewsbd.com, www.bhoreralap.com, www.banglapost24.com, www.dailytimes24.com, www.mynewsbd.com, www.livekhobor.com, www.rikhan.com, www.sheershanewsbd.com,www.natunerdak.com,www.sylhetvoice24.com,www.somoybangla.com,www.prothom-news.com,www.banglalatestnews.com, www.bdmonitor.net, www.bdupdatenews24.net, www.newsdaily24bd.com, www.amardeshonline.com, www.doinikamardesh.com, www.onnojogot24.com, www.amarbangladesh-online.com,www.deshbd.net, www.crimebdnews24.com,www.natunsokal.com,www.sheershakhobor.com, www.onb24.com,www.dinkalonline.net,www.sarabangla.com,www.parstoday.com, www.weeklysonarbangla.net, and www.24banglanewsblog.wordpress.com.
