AMMK founder T.T.V. Dhinakaran on Sunday urged the Tamil Nadu government to promulgate an ordinance banning online gaming with stakes.

In his social media posts, he referred to the death of a policeman in Coimbatore, who ended his life after suffering a loss in online gaming and said: “How many more lives are we going to lose?”

A panel was constituted, which has also submitted its report, he recalled and contended: “When are they going to find a solution?”
