<p>ATRA spokesman Saeed Shinwari said the law empowers ATRA to ban sites which spread vulgarity, terrorism and other such things among the youth.</p>

<p>Shinwari said they had warned all telecom companies against reopening such sites to avoid legal action.</p>
<p>He said they had also received many complaints about PUBG and the matter would be decided on by ATRA board.</p>
