Fed Up With Mobile Addiction, Haryana Men Smash Over 55 Phones; Dramatic Video (WATCH)

A group of young men in Haryana's Nuh district publicly smashed 55 mobile phones saying that smartphones have become like an addiction, and people are increasingly getting hooked on them. The incident happened in Sukhpuri village. According to reports, the initiative comes in the wake of a special awareness campaign launched by Nuh Superintendent of Police Dr Arpit Jain, aimed at encouraging individuals involved in unlawful activities to abandon crime and reintegrate into mainstream society. 

Before villagers and officials, they pledged to stay away from illegal activities, earn their livelihood through honest means, and become responsible contributors to society. 

एक गांव के सभी लोग मिलकर अपने अपने स्मार्ट फोन तोड रहे हैं,

इन लोगों का कहना है कि स्मार्ट फोन एक नशा टाइप का है, जिसकी लत लग रही है।

अब ये फोन नही रखेगें, फिर से keypad फोन रखना शुरू करेंगे। 👇 pic.twitter.com/yUGEXIuXEv
