On RTI plea, info panel directs college to strengthen anti-tobacco measures

The case, led by Information Commissioner Vinod Kumar Tiwari, stemmed from a Right to Information (RTI) plea filed by one Dr Raja Singh.

He sought clarification regarding the college's compliance with laws designed to protect educational institutions from the impact of nearby tobacco sales.

Singh's complaint, filed in April 2023, highlighted possible violations of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products Act (COTPA), 2003, which requires a 100-yard tobacco-free buffer zone around schools and colleges.
