Punjab Gets its First Mobile Detox Centre in Amritsar

An Amritsar-based private hospital has opened Punjab's first mobile de-addiction centre for ditigal detox of adults besides the school children and even small kids. The hospital was in the news after it opened a drug de-addiction centre for women two years ago.

"Parents handover their mobile phones to small children so that they let them work. This becomes an addiction later which results in bad and irritating behaviour. There is no medicine to get rid of the mobile phones but a restricted use or no use can improve one's behaviour. The parents can play a big role in the digital detox of their children," Dr Jagdeep Pal said.
