Now ticket examiners, railway force can act against smokers
New Delhi, Nov 6 : Smokers beware! Ticket examiners and Railway Protection Force (RPF) assistant sub-inspectors have been authorised to take action against those found smoking in trains and on railway platforms.
The health ministry has issued a notification in this regard.
As per the Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places Rules 2008, the law imposes strict ban on smoking in public places. Those found smoking in public places can be charged up to Rs.200.
The smoking ban in public places was a brainchild of former health minister Anbumani Ramadoss and came into effect Oct 2, 2008.
