New Delhi [India], August 3 (ANI): The government on Wednesday withdrew the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 and has decided to come up with a new legislation in view of a large number of amendments suggested by the Joint Committee of Parliament towards a comprehensive legal framework on the digital ecosystem.
