The State government has decided to enact new legislation for curbing online gambling, Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai has said. Speaking to media representatives at Kalaburagi Airport on Tuesday, he said that Home Department officials were studying laws in force for the purpose. “Online gambling is on the rise everywhere and people are increasingly falling prey to it. We need a stringent law to curb it. Some States have already taken steps to address the problem. Our officers in the Home Department are studying the laws in force there and the measures taken. They will visit a couple of more States shortly. Incorporating the best things in practice, we will prepare a draft bill and present it in the legislature,” Mr. Bommai said.More Related News
