Following a notification from the Centre on February 5, the state has decided to ban gutka and food containing mixture of tobacco or nicotine from May 20. The state had issued similar notifications twice before but was stayed by the high court.
When asked about the gutka lobby, Siddiqui, the minister of state for food and drugs administration, said the government had taken strict measures and was confident of the drive's success. But, he declined to speak about the revenue loss to the state as a result of the ban.
