Press Information Bureau launches mobile version of its website

NEW DELHI: The Press Information Bureau has launched a mobile version of its website for facilitating cellphone users seamlessly access information on the move.

"The URL of the mobile website is http://pib.gov.in/mobile. Mobile users who want the full functionality and display of the regular website can access it through the URL pib.gov.in," the PIB said in a statement today.

The new site has been customised in such a way that it displays the latest press releases on the home screen and offers links to other matter on the website, it said.

To make the website accessible to places where the internet connectivity is poor, the site does not display the 'heavy' content such as photographs and videos on the homepage.

At present, the mobile version displays only English content. In due course, Hindi and Urdu content of the main website will also be available on the mobile version, the PIB statement said.
