Ban on sale of gutka and smokeless tobacco

GUWAHATI: The Asomiya Yuba Mancha (AYM) has taken State Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma’s recent announcement, of a ban of the sale on gutka and smokeless tobacco in the State, with a pinch of salt. AYM general secretary Jitul Deka said, “We do not know how far this ban will become a reality. We have serious doubts. This is not the first time that such a ban has been announced. In the past too we had seen the government and the district administration issuing various orders related to sale of tobacco products.
