Bengaluru: The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has removed a tobacco-related advertisement from one of its buses after a concerned citizen flagged the issue on social media.

On April 8, Siraj Madaka shared a photo on X, of a KSRTC bus, with its back panel displaying advertisement of a smokeless tobacco product, which is popular among young people. In his post, Madaka expressed concern over the promotion of products harmful to public health on government-owned vehicles, as reported by The New Indian Express on Saturday.

“Displaying advertisements for products harmful to health—such as tobacco, cigarettes, and alcohol—on government-owned buses is not good for society. For the sake of society, it is better not to display such advertisements on government-owned buses. Please pay attention,” Madaka wrote.

Dr Vaishnavi K, the Officer on Special Duty to the Chief Minister, took note of the complaint and forwarded it to KSRTC. In response, the Chief Traffic Manager (CTM) removed the advertisement from the bus.

On April 17, the CTM issued a letter to Dr Vaishnavi stating that a notice had been sent to the advertising agency responsible for placing ads on KSRTC buses, the report added.

The notice instructed the agency not to display advertisements related to tobacco, liquor and related products, drugs, obscene content, or any items that are legally banned.
