Deputy Commissioner of Mysuru Bagadi Gautham on Wednesday asked the officials to step up the drive to implement provisions of Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA) 2003 across the district ahead of seeking a survey from the State Tobacco Control Cell on the compliance with the Act.
Chairing a quarterly meeting of the Mysuru district tobacco control cell here, Mr. Gautham said the district can be declared as a “high COTPA 2003 compliant district” if the compliance level was above 80 per cent.
Already, drives are being conducted in both urban and rural parts of the district to enforce the provision of COTPA 2003.
