The game should be immediately banned as recommended and demanded by the APWWS. The game is spreading like poison, affecting the whole society, particularly school students who are the future of the nation.<br \/>\nIt is commonly seen that youngsters and students are busy with the game and have forgotten all about their surroundings and their duties. It is a very serious issue, and the government has taken a very good step through the home department, and PUBG should be banned immediately.<br \/>\nIn the same issue, there was a letter in the readers\u2019 forum from one P Apal on the PUBG addiction.<br \/>\nThe second news was headlined \u2018SP requests PWD to restore, construct roads, bridges in capital\u2019 to ease traffic congestion.<br \/>\nCapital SP Tumme Amo rightly said that crores of rupees are wasted on wear and tear of vehicles, expense of POL, and wastage of time and man days which affect the whole society and the government\u2019s works.<br \/>\nThe main effect of traffic jams is air pollution due to vehicles crawling from Chandranagar in Itanagar to the Essar petrol depot in Naharlagun, which may cause many critical diseases of the eyes, lungs, the digestive system, the heart and the brain.<br \/>\nThe NOXs, SOXs, CO, SPM, smoke and dust mainly affect children\u2019s health. The NHDCL may construct flyovers over the road in Ganga, from RK Mission Hospital to Akashdeep Market, at Bank Tinali in Itanagar, and from G Extension to D Sector in Naharlagun, which will not only minimize traffic jams but also save time, health and wealth of the public, and government expenses. The NHDCL and the highway department may take such initiatives for the welfare of the public and to save the environment of the twin towns.<br \/>\n<strong>Sincerely, <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Dr LR Bhuyan,<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Itanagar<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Editor, In The Arunachal Times, dated 31 July, 2019, there were two important news items for the welfare of the society.
