Hookah services offered in some pubs and cafes in Chennai, alleges PIL in Madras High Court
A public interest litigation alleges that hookah services are being offered in several pubs and cafes across Chennai. The Madras High Court's chief justice bench ordered notices to the Director General of Police, the Greater Chennai Police Commissioner and the Commissioner of Prohibition and Excise, directing them to respond. The filing raises regulatory concerns about tobacco use in hospitality venues.
