Tamil Nadu Govt appoints Panel to study impact of online gaming

CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government has formed a committee led by Madras High Court Justice (Retired) K. Chandru to investigate the impact of online gaming company ads on the general public, including financial losses and suicides. On Thursday, a meeting convened by Chief Minister MK Stalin made the decision to appoint a committee. The group will present its report in two weeks, according to the state government.

IIT technology specialist Shankaraman, creator of SNEHA and psychologist Lakshmi Vijayakumar, and Additional Director General of Police Vinit Dev Wankhede are the other members of the committee. According to the state authorities, numerous persons who were drawn to online gaming lost their money and committed suicide after becoming deeply in debt.
