BGMI back in India: This is what IT minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar has to say – Times of India
Krafton India has announced that its popular mobile Battle Royale title, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), is making a return in India. Soon after the announcement, minister of state (MoS) for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar clarified that the decision to allow the video game to return to the country will only be taken after three months of a strict trial of the game.
“This is a three-month trial approval of BGMI after it has complied with issues of server locations and data security, etc,” Chandrasekhar said in a tweet. The minister added that the government will keep a close watch on other issues of “user harm, addiction, etc in the next three months before a final decision is taken”.
