Panaji bans selling of paan | ||||||||

The humble paan, chewed across the subcontinent by the rich and the poor alike, has made Panaji Mayor Surendra Furtado see red. The Mayor of Goa's capital on Thursday banned all paan-selling kiosks, and set up a special municipal task force on Friday to physically identify and evict paan-sellers. All of them, according to Furtado, are illegally operating in the city. "A Goan would rather have a sip of feni, instead of chewing on paan. It is against this great city's cultural ethos. Plus paan pouches are clogging the city's drainage system and people spitting everywhere after eating paan and are ruining our capital's beauty," Furtado told IANS on Friday.
But the Mayor claims that the Municipal Corporation of Panaji does not issue licences for selling paan in the city's jurisdiction. | ||||||||
