The bench of justices comprising G S Singhvi and A K Ganguly asked the Tobacco manufacturers to go for alternatives for packaging the stuffs. By March next year, they have to decide for packaging the Tobacco products.

However, cigarettes will be available as usual in paper packs. The manufacturers fear such direction by SC can lead to closure of gutka and pan masala manufacturing units.

This is very good news! Majority of the litter in public places comprises of tobacco and gutkha pouches!

A couple of days ago, a hardened criminal in police custody demonstrated before the police on how the handcuffs could be unlocked using a folded gutkha pouch!! It just shows the hazardous nature and use of these pouches! :woohoo:
