Ban on Gutkha, other tobacco products deferred in Himachal

The deferment of the ban orders was announced by Chief Minister Prem Kumar Dhumal after a delegation of Gutkha dealers led by local BJP MLA Suresh Bharadwaj met him.

The decision to impose a ban on 'Gutkha' and other tobacco products had been taken to save the younger generation from getting addicted to them.
