Ghaziabad: The tragic deaths of three minor sisters in Ghaziabad, reportedly influenced by online games and Korean culture, have sparked nationwide concern. MP Atul Garg has stated that he plans to raise the issue of dangerous online games in Parliament, urging the government to ban harmful gaming apps and task-based platforms that negatively impact children.
Atul Garg also advocated for the creation of a “Digital Safety Protocol” in India, similar to measures in other countries, to regulate online content and protect children. He had listed this issue during the Zero Hour in Parliament but was unable to raise it due to proceedings being adjourned amid disruptions. He plans to push the matter again to ensure government action.
Meanwhile, Loni MLA Nandkishore Gurjar visited the bereaved family in Teela Mod society on Thursday to express his condolences. He emphasized that addiction to gaming apps is not only harming children’s futures but, in extreme cases, leading to the loss of lives. Gurjar also stressed parental responsibility and stated that he would meet with senior government officials, including the Chief Minister, to demand a ban on such lethal apps.
This case has intensified the ongoing debate on children’s digital safety and the urgent need for stricter regulation of online content in India.
