The period of lockdown has been extended due to corona across the country. The sale of tobacco is completely banned in the lockdown. Tobacco is being sold secretly at two to three higher price. City Kotwali police have arrested a young man selling tobacco in a Bolero car in the old Tanga stand street inside the old private bus stand. The shocking thing here is that the Bolero car which was being used as a tobacco shop is being rented in PIU. Not only this, but the vehicle has also been duly acquired for lockdown. A copy of the order has also been affixed on in front of the vehicle so that no one can stop the vehicle. Instead of using the vehicle properly in lockdown, it is misused.
