Remove liquor ads at airports, says Anbumani

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Union Health and Family Welfare Minister Anbumani Ramadoss has written to Civil Aviation Minister, Praful Patel, seeking removal of advertisements on alcoholic drinks on display at the Delhi and other airports. .

Dr. Ramadoss has instructed his Ministry to take up the issue with the relevant agencies in the Civil Aviation Ministry.

In a letter dated August 25, Dr. Ramadoss expressed disappointment over the “grandiose display inside airport in various cities throughout the country aiming to advertise alcoholic drinks with famous brand names” in the form of large sized hoardings, vinyl/digital boards and banners despite a ban on such advertisements.

Citing various scientific and technical studies Dr. Ramadoss requested Mr. Patel to issue instructions to the authorities concerned, as advertisements for alcoholic drinks were already legally banned in the electronic and print media.
