Panaji, April 2 (IANS) Poll authorities in Goa should emulate Jammu and Kashmir and Bihar and ban smoking in polling booths in the state, an anti-tobacco group demanded Wednesday.
"It is requested that all election booths be declared tobacco free zones, by installing anti-smoking signboards - both inside as well as outside the booths," Shekhar Salkar, general secretary of the National Organisation for Tobacco Eradication (NOTE), said in a memorandum to the Goa chief electoral officer.
Salkar said election authorities in Jammu and Kashmir and Bihar have already taken the step to formally ban tobacco use in polling booths.
