New Delhi: The Union home ministry has refused permission for the Google Street View Service to be launched in India, citing security issues, sources told NDTV.
Earlier, Google Street View was allowed to launch on an experimental basis, where a few tourist attractions like Taj Mahal in Agra and Red Fort was hosted.
Last year, Google made a proposal to shoot images through high-end cameras and upload them on Street View. The formal proposal was submitted in July last year.
Google is yet to respond on the matter.
Street View allows people around the world to access 360-degree panoramic imagery of a place from their phone, tablet, or computer.
