Amitesh Kumar, The Commissioner of Police, started a focus- drive against the sale of cigarettes, and tobacco near schools, colleges, and other products within 100 yards (91 meters) distance from educational institutions, enforcing Section 6 (b) of the cigarettes and other tobacco products.
A few violators can still be seen selling cigarettes and other tobacco products in the city, particularly outside the schools, colleges, and other educational institutions at Shankar Nagar Square, Dharampeth area, and many more.
Not only this, but the cops would also ensure that cigarettes and other tobacco products are not sold to minors. A dedicated helpline number (9823300100) has been started by the CP for school authorities, parents and their associations, students, and their groups to partner with the city police in order to help by cracking down on the violators.
