Hyderabad metro rail removes betting app ads after court notice

The Hyderabad Metro Rail Limited (HMRL) informed the Telangana High Court on Tuesday, April 29, that it had taken measures to remove advertisements related to betting apps from all metro premises.

This comes in response to a public interest litigation (PIL) that accused the



Metro system of promoting illegal offshore betting apps, specifically 1xBET, Fairplay, and Myjackpot777.

Advocate General A Sudharshan Reddy, representing the government, assured the court that the Hyderabad Metro Rail and its surroundings were now free from such promotions.
