Gamblers Punished with Public Placards in India

Imagine some grown-ups were caught playing cards for money, which isn't a good thing.

A judge in a town called Srikakulam decided to give them a different kind of punishment.

Instead of just paying money, they had to hold signs in busy places that told everyone why playing games for money and drinking in public is bad for families and people.

This was to help everyone learn that these actions can cause problems.

The judge also made them pay a small amount of money as a fine.

This way, the people who were caught, and everyone else who saw them, would remember to make better choices.
