To create awareness among people about the negative impact of playing PUBG video game, two brothers Amar and Ashish Vitthal  from Mumbai have chose unique method, they have built an effigy of the PUBG game which they plan to burn it on the ocassion of Holika Dahan.

According to ANI report, "PUBG must be banned. Parents tell us children play PUBG all day. They appreciate us for the concept,” Ashish Vittal said.

His brother Amar added “People are turning violent by playing PUBG, children are not focusing on studies. So we came up with this concept. Earlier we had created awareness about noise pollution, demonetisation etc. We will burn this effigy during ''Holika Dahan''. We want to spread a social message.”

However, the game remains one of the most popular in India, the immense popularity of the game led to protests by parents who are complaining that their children were addicted to the game.  

In February, an 18-year-old boy allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself after he had an argument with his family members over buying a new mobile phone to play PUBG.

And also Delhi Commission for Protection of Child Rights (DCPCR) had recently said that popular online games will negatively impact children.
