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.
