Director of Industries Nikhil Chakravarthy announced that the portal has been liberated from the attackers' grip and is being fortified with more robust cyber security defenses before its relaunch. Chakravarthy assured that the industrial clearances data stored on the server is secure. The Industries Department is committed to reinforcing the portal's security protocols to avert future security breaches. The cyber assault on the TG-iPASS portal occurred on October 22, prompting officials to report the incident to the Telangana Cyber Security Bureau. TG-iPASS is an online platform designed to streamline industrial approval and clearance procedures in Telangana. The government's swift response and proactive security measures aim to safeguard the platform's operations and maintain public trust.",
