Mirwaiz urges minimal social media use among Kashmiri youth, calls for ban on online betting apps
Share on Facebook

Srinagar, Nov 01: Kashmir’s chief Muslim cleric, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, on Friday called for a blanket ban on online betting apps in the region, warning that these apps are increasingly consuming the younger generation and leading to severe financial losses.

Speaking at the Friday sermon at the Kashmir Grand Mosque, Mirwaiz highlighted cases of youth facing financial devastation and even depression due to addiction to betting apps like Dream 11 and My Circle 11.

As per the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) Correspondent, Mirwaiz recounted specific cases, sharing that a young man from Baramulla recently lost Rs. 79 lakh, while another from Pulwama lost Rs. 42 lakh, forcing his family to sell their home. “Another youth lost Rs. 32 lakh and has fallen into depression,” he said, expressing concern over the widespread impact of such apps, which often feature prominent sports and movie stars as brand ambassadors.

Mirwaiz lamented the influence of mobile phones and social media on the youth, stating, “Our children have mobile phones, and their parents often don’t know what they’re accessing. Social media has become like a drug, and we must ensure minimal use of mobile devices.” He appealed to the government to take swift action, pointing out that states like Assam, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Sikkim, and Nagaland have already imposed bans on these apps.
