According to a report by Bangladesh-based publication, Daily Manab Zamin, PUBG Mobile and Garena Free Fire are planned to be suspended due to the increase in gaming addiction among the youth in the country. The decision was reportedly made by several government bodies including the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission and the Ministry of Education.
A report from AFK Gaming states that the subject has also been discussed with the Bangladesh Mobile Phone Users Association and the Parliamentary Standing Committee in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications calling for immediate steps to restrict the addictive nature of Free Fire and PUBG Mobile.
