There were widespread reports of users being unable to access Google’s services for a few minutes earlier today.
At around 6:03PM IST, several users reported errors in accessing services such as Google Trends, Gmail, Calendar and Google Hangouts. Similar to the error message depicted above, these sites were reported to be inaccessible over the duration of a few minutes.
