The gutkha ban is finally here and, predictably too, being challenged in court. For years, the state on the face of it, has been trying to ban tobacco sale but has only failed.
The first time the state tried banning gutkha in Maharashtra was around a decade ago and then again in 2008. Both the time, the ban was lifted due to legal hurdles. This time around, the state seems set to implement the ban,at least on the face of things.
