They have written to the minister of communication and IT requesting him to prevent the online game from entering the country

With a 12-year-old girl from Argentina dying allegedly because of a Momo Challenge she was involved in, teachers of schools from across the city and parents have started raising concerns about chances of the disastrous online game affecting their children's browsing activities and eventually pushing them to suicide. They have written a letter to Ravi Shankar Prasad, minister of communication and IT, requesting him to take proactive steps in order to ensure that children in India don't fall prey to the challenge.
Even though no case related to the Momo Challenge has been reported in India and it's still not something to be worried about, parents and teachers prefer to take preventive measures. Especially with the Mumbai Police tweeting about the game to create awareness among people, they want their kids to be well informed, so that they don't take up the challenge.
