Revanth Reddy Vows Strict Action Against Online Betting Apps
Hyderabad: Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy has issued a stern warning against online betting applications, stating that the government will take strict action against those who operate or promote such platforms.
To curb and eliminate these activities, a special investigation team (SIT) with full authority will be formed, he announced.
During a discussion on budget allocations in the Legislative Assembly, the chief minister intervened and made it clear that the government is determined to act firmly against online betting, gaming, and rummy platforms.
Although a law was enacted in 2017 to ban such activities, its enforcement has been lax, leading to an increase in misuse.
The chief minister highlighted that several national and international entities, individuals, and criminals from different countries are involved in online betting operations.
Furthermore, Revanth Reddy pointed out that the existing legal framework lacks stringent punishments for those running these platforms. He stressed the need to amend the law to impose stricter penalties.
He also made it clear that Telangana would not tolerate not only online betting and rummy apps but also other forms of addiction, including ganja, cocaine, and cockfighting.
After assuming office, Revanth Reddy said his government fought the case in the Supreme Court and successfully reclaimed the land.
The government has now allocated the land to TSIIC, with a structured development plan to establish IT companies and other industries. He dismissed rumours that the land was a reserved forest area.
Emphasising Telangana’s vision for sustainable industrial development, the chief minister stated that the government is committed to creating a Net Zero City instead of allowing polluting pharma industries.
He also assured compensation for those losing land due to industrial projects, ensuring employment and livelihood opportunities for affected families.
