Rourkela: Paan-stained walls are a common sight here. The Rourkela Regional Transport Office (RTO) on Friday issued a directive banning the use of paan masala, gutkha, and other tobacco products on its premises.
A violation will attract a fine of Rs 500. Besides penalty, strict disciplinary action will be also be taken.
The stained walls are being cleaned now. The ban will help keep the building corridors cleaner.
