Uh-oh, seems like yet more government authorities are seeking to limit children's gaming time - but in this case only one game is in the firing line: PUBG Mobile, which is apparently being banned in a growing number of Indian cities.
The main reason for the bans seems to be, as ever, the protection of children. The two main concerns are the promotion of violence, and the addictive nature of the game - which is apparently causing children to perform poorly in their exams.
Rakjot Police announced its plans for a ban via social media, explaining this would also apply to the "Momo challenge" - a known internet hoax. According to The Quint, the Rakjot police commissioner clarified this would last from 9th to 30th March.
