It started working again. Maybe some server issue. Thanks!

Yes, it could be due to multiple updates happening on the same chatbot. Currently this chatbot uses getUpdate method from telegram. This issue can be resolved once we find a URL through which we can use setwebhook method.

I am still trying to find a free hosting portal/website, which can source URL for this welfare activity. please let me know if you have a knowledge regarding this.
