Google Street View: Making a comeback in India after 6 years of being banned

In India, Alphabet-owned Google has relaunched Street View on Google Maps. This happened over ten years after the nation rejected the service because it lacked the required government security clearance.

The programme will be launched in ten locations at first, with a goal of reaching over 50 cities by the end of this year.
