Abuse of anti-smoking law
Ahmed On e-mail
I bring to your kind notice the extreme abuse of anti-smoking law by a section of police and mastans at various places. I was abused a few times though I was smoking in an open space or road, not near any human being. I showed two newspaper cuttings, one English and one Bangla but without any success. It is clearly written what is meant by 'public places' and where smoking is allowed. A few Bangla newspapers are misinterpreting the meaning of 'public places' by translating it into 'Prokashshey' which is absurd.I hope your newspaper will publish clear write-ups on the anti-smoking law to remove any misunderstanding on it, which will be a very good effort and will help chain smokers like me to cut down gradually without being harassed here and there.
