NEW DELHI, INDIA: The government has no plans to ban BlackBerry in India, said officials in the communication ministry.

Siddhartha Behura, secretary in the Department of Telecommunications, said that there was no question of banning BlackBerry in the country and that the government wanted to resolve the issue at the earliest by holding talks with the telecom operators.

The authorities had raised security issues regarding the use of BlackBerry mails, which are sent through the BlackBerry mail service in an encrypted form.

Canadian wireless device company, Research In Motion Limited (RIM) is the developer of BlackBerry handheld communication device.

According to Department of Telecommunication (DoT) officials, emails are sent through the BlackBerry handheld devices in an encrypted format, which cannot be scanned unlike other mails sent through the ordinary mail server.

This is mainly due to the fact that RIM's servers are located in Canada.
