Kashmir Valley in Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory has probably become the first place to witness protests over the ban on popular online mobile game Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) by the government.
Days after the centre banned PUBG in India, the youth from Kashmir staged a peaceful protest in Srinagar, demanding the government to revoke the order immediately.
A couple of PUBG enthusiasts, carrying placards in their hands which read “revoke PUBG ban, we cannot live without PUBG” according to news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) appeared at Press Enclave to protest government’s decision to ban PUBG in India in the wake of mounted tensions between India and China along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh.
The protesting youth appealed to the centre to revoke the ban on online mobile games considering its popularity and ‘addiction’ among youth in Kashmir Valley and elsewhere in India.
They said the government instead of resorting to digital strike against ‘Dragon’ should settle down the differences through dialogue. They also said the center’s decision to ban PUBG has left youth in virtual shock who find it hard to live without it.
The BJP led centre has mounted a fresh strike on Chinese apps, banning as many as 118 new apps including PUBG for engaging in activities prejudicial to the sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India, security of state and public order.
This was the first of its kind protest when players hit streets against the center’s decision to ban online mobile game PUBG following protracted standoff between two neighboring countries.
“We are also PUBG players and we play it more often. We were shocked the moment we came across the shocking news that the government has banned PUBG in India. We had gathered to appeal to the government to revoke the ban on PUBG immediately,” one of the protesting PUBG player’s told KNO.
He also said the differences are removed through meaningful dialogue and not by resorting to digital strikes in this jet era.

Opposing charging of full-fee and hostel charges, Jammu and Kashmir Apni Party (JKAP) student leader Anuj Manhas has appealed to the Government to reduce 50 % fee of the students in all the Universities of Jammu and Kashmir and two Central Universities.
In a statement to the press, JKAP student leader Anuj Manhas said that the universities have been charging fees to the students even as the educational institutions remained closed. In this pandemic situation, Manhas said that the Government should take serious note of the attitude of the Universities administration compelling students to deposit the fee.
“The students should only be charged a 50 % fee. However, the hostels which remained closed during the pandemic and no student stayed in these hostels,” he said.
He said that when the students did not stay in the university hostels why did the university administration charge hostel fee to the students.
“The hostel charges should not be taken from them. Poor students from far-flung areas stay in these hotels and during these days, they stay in their respective homes. Therefore, charging any fee for hostel facilities is unjustified,” he said.
He said that for hostels, the universities should charge minimum charges and do not force students to deposit full charges keeping in view the covid-19 situation.
