Bengaluru: The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has directed that all advertisements promoting the use of tobacco products, either directly or indirectly, be removed from its buses and bus stations within 15 days.

In an official release issued on Saturday, KSRTC Chief Traffic Manager (Commercial) S. Rajesh said that such advertisements should no longer be displayed on KSRTC buses, bus shelters, or at bus stations, including hoardings and glow sign boards.

The directive clearly states that no advertisements encouraging tobacco consumption, whether explicit or indirect, should be installed or exhibited on corporation property in the future.

These license holders have been warned against promoting tobacco-related advertisements in any form.
