Starting on April 12, the multiplayer battle royal game won’t work on the devices in Nepal.

After India, Nepal is heading to the ban of PUBG across the country. Recently, Nepal authorities have ordered Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and mobile operators to block streaming of PUBG. From today onward, all of the ISPs and mobile operators have a duty to discontinue support for PUBG servers. Ever since the craze for playing PUBG was caught up, many authorities in the world have expressed concern over the negative effects of intensive gaming habits of the players.

The ban was deployed after an investigation of Nepal’s federal agency and acted by NTA, Nepal Telecommunications Authority. Sandip Adhikari, an NTA spokesperson, cited that PUBG is absolutely addictive to children and teenagers. Along with this, their parents are said to be worried because the game is distracting children from studies and duties.

According to Metropolitan Crime Division, schools and parents had complained about the game. When they consulted with physiatrists and experts, it finally leads to the end of PUBG in Nepal.

The debate of PUBG's affection towards youth has been going for years. A number of people believe that video games themselves do not cause aggressive behavior. However, a large number of people argue that violent acts carried out in video games could make people more likely to bring them to the real world.
