The panel on communications and IT has said it will review the “mechanism to curb fake news” and the emergence of OTT platforms and related issues. It will also examine the “emergence of new forms of currencies and its impact”.
The panel on external affairs will look at, among other issues, the “future of India-Bangladesh relationship” and evaluate India’s Indian Ocean strategy, facilitating external economic engagement of states and Union Territories.
