All organisations working under the Kudumbasree Mission will implement the provisions of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act, 2003.
A direction to this effect has been issued by the Kudumbasree Executive Director.
As many as 42 lakh women are part of 7,324 offices, eateries and other organizations under the Kudumbasree.
Senior Kudumbasree authorities should ensure that such offices and eateries are free of tobacco use in accordance with the provisions of COTPA Act, a circular says.
