Ban PUBG in schools says Gujarat government for it 'adversely affects studies'

The Gujarat government on Tuesday issued a circular asking district authorities to ensure a ban on online multi-player game **PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds** , popularly called PUBG. The state primary education department’s circular was issued after a recommendation by the Gujarat State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, said officials. The circular directed District Primary Education Officers to take necessary steps to enforce a ban on the game in primary schools.

The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) has recommended a ban on the game across the country, said Jagruti Pandya, chairperson of the Gujarat child rights body. “The NCPCR had sent a letter to all the states and recommended a ban on the game. All the states are required to implement it. Looking at the negative effects of the game, we had recently sent a letter to the state government recommending a ban on the game” said Pandya.
