VALPOI: Raising concerns over the gambling activities in Poriem, over 100 youth have petitioned the Valpoi Police to shut down gambling dens in the area.
In a memorandum to Valpoi Police, the youth have appealed to authorities to take serious steps in the matter, or else there would be an adverse effect on the younger generation on account of gambling activities.
Locals said the youth have been attracted to gambling activities in Poriem and that these gambling activities have only increased.
This could seriously affect the younger generation, complained Gurudas Gaonkar, a resident.
