Gambling, which came to an almost halt following a crackdown launched on casinos last year, has staged a comeback and is running at new spots in different forms, including electronic carom board.
The most worrying fact is that it has spread to various parts of the country amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Many locally influential people are operating the illegal gambling dens, intelligence sources said.
The matter was already conveyed to the higher authorities and action was also taken in some cases, they said.
Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) launched a crackdown on casinos on September 18, 2019, which was later joined by different other agencies, including police and the Department of Narcotics Control.
