Departmental teams collected samples of tobacco and pan masala products from various shops for laboratory testing and further investigation. Notices were issued to shops and establishments found violating norms.
Chief Medical Officer Dr Jalam Bhardwaj said that the campaign was aimed at ensuring strict implementation of tobacco control laws and restricting easy access to tobacco products, particularly among youngsters.
He said shopkeepers were instructed not to sell cigarettes, gutka or any other tobacco products to children below 18 years of age.
“The objective of the campaign is to ensure effective enforcement of the Tobacco Control Act and protect the younger generation from the harmful and addictive effects of tobacco consumption,” he said.
