The police had said that they are implementing the Central government’s new rule banning hookah smoking in establishments and at public places.
Police will be conducting raids to ensure that all hookah parlours are shut in the city. The ban is effective from this week onwards.
The aim is to declare Hyderabad ‘a hookah-free city’ by implementing the government rule.
As per the new rule, no hotels, restaurants, private clubs or parlours can let any of their customers smoke inside their premises.
The order is issued by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare by amending the Prohibition of Smoking in Public Places Act, 2008.
