Some of our colleagues also faced issues at accessing the social media site, but it works fine for them now.

This could have been caused due to a server-level issue for the South East Asian countries like India and Malaysia. However, the actual reason behind the outage is currently unknown. Twitter is yet to put out a statement regarding this outage. We will update this space as soon as we hear about any developments.

To recall, Twitter faced a similar issue earlier this month on October 16, however, that was more on a global scale, with only parts of India being affected. But, this outage seems to span the whole country. Recently, we have seen Google’s and Microsoft’s services go down and users couldn’t access the platforms for hours together.
