While PUBG Mobile India tries to navigate a relaunch in the country, India's top child rights body - the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) - has said that it will not be appropriate unless legislations are in place for such online games.

According to a report in The Telegraph, in a meeting called to discuss the relaunch proposal for the game, NCPCR chairperson Priyank Kanoongo “strongly recommended” against the relaunch of PUBG Mobile in the country until “appropriate legislations” are in place for such online games.
