PUBG Mobile addiction

PUBG Mobile has come under fire once again. This time it's the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association. In a report published by news website pristinekashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association have requested the Governor administration to impose a ban on PUBG owing to poor 10th and 12th class results. The pristinekashmir website also reported Chairman of the student's association terming the online game PUBG Mobile as "Future spoiler" and have appealed to the Governor for a PUBG ban as soon as possible, thus addressing the concerns of the parents as soon as possible.

Deputy Chairman of the student's association also reportedly stated while asking for an immediate PUBG ban, "The game should have been banned immediately after the poor performance of 12th and 10th class results but still we haven’t seen any action". The Deputy Chairman reportedly also stated that the PUBG Mobile game was becoming more concerning than addiction to drugs because of youngsters who are playing the game and doing nothing.

This is not the first time in Jammu and Kashmir that a call for implementing a ban on PUBG Mobile has taken place. A few weeks back, a fitness trainer from Jammu had ended up in hospital after injuring himself while playing PUBG Mobile for 10 days. The PUBG player was reportedly injured after he started hitting himself with blows and eventually ended up in the hospital. Doctors had reportedly termed his condition as 'losing his mental balance'.

In another incident which happened last year, a post went viral which had stated that the game was going to be banned in Maharashtra. The post was quickly debunked as a fake post. All-in-all, the calls PUBG ban seems rather problematic in itself considering the first and foremost problem is students having unlimited data and smartphone time to spend to start with.
