On 29th July, A citizen Faizan Maqsood filed a petition in Lahore High Court demanding a ban to be placed on popular Multiplayer Online Game “Players Underground Battle Game” due to its various adverse effects on Pakistani Youth.
Also, remember that Pakistan is not the first state to put a ban on PUB G. Recently Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Nepal, India, and China placed a ban on PUB G.
Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) also has received many complaints by parents as this game is just the wastage of time, too much addictive and harmful for the physical and mental health of our young generation.
Punjab Police also reported to the court that they also received some cases of boys who commit suicide due to online game mission failure.
According to media reports of 2019, There are more than 10 suicide incidents occurred in last year due to this online game.
