New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday directed the Centre to take steps to stop the online Blue Whale game, which forces youth to commit suicide.
Observing that it is a national problem, the court said what Blue Whale game conceives of is dangerous to life and whatever endangers life has to be condemned and can never be permitted.
Dealing with public interest writ petitions seeking ban on the game, a three-judge Bench of Chief justice Dipak Misra and Justices A.M. Khanwilkar and D.Y. Chadnrachud also asked the Doordarshan to telecast educative messages/clips about the evil impact of Blue Whale and such other games.
Awareness on Blue Whale must: SC 
It said the parents and the children should



get properly instructed that a child cannot be involved in those kinds of games, or, to put it differently, trapped in such games. Needless to say that the programme has to be conceived by Doordarshan in consultation with ministries of women and child development; and human resource development in a week. The competent authority may also explore the possibility to telecast the said messages at the appropriate time in private channels. The competent authority may also consider spreading awareness through other mediums, so that awareness in this regard is spread, it said.
The present writ petitions were filed to take immediate measures to ban/block all sites linked with the Blue Whale or any other form of immoral games.
