The Telangana government has implemented a statewide ban on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of gutka and pan masala containing tobacco and nicotine. This ban aims to protect public health and complies with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. Authorities have been instructed to enforce this ban strictly across the state to curb the consumption of these harmful products.
This decisive action reflects the government’s commitment to public health and safety. By eliminating the availability of gutka and pan masala, the state aims to reduce health risks associated with tobacco and nicotine use among its citizens.
