ONLINE video game PUBG has become a killer game as it is a source of suicidal thoughts, violence, murder, aggression, looting and cyber bullying among the young ones.

The online game has been making devastating impacts on the mental health of the youth as several suicides have been reported in the country and abroad because of the game.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has banned PUBG temporarily. I would urge PTA to put a complete and permanent ban on the deadly game to protect our children and young people.
