New Delhi:
Twitter has written to the government that it is making every effort to comply with new digital rules and has appointed some of the India-based officers it is required to, but promises an update in one week.
The site has said it has appointed nodal and a resident grievance officer on contract and is in the advanced stages of finalizing a Chief Compliance Officer.

The guidelines were notified on February 25 and the global impact of the pandemic has made it more difficult for us as a practical matter to make certain arrangements necessary to comply with the Guidelines within the stipulated time-frame, the social media giant wrote, a spokesperson confirmed today.
