The court warned to summon Sindh Chief Minister and Sindh IG if the progress report was not submitted with the court in this regard.
Justice Panhwar in his observations said that nobody is sentisized about the issue and is totally careless about the people, who are dying because of use of Gutka, mainpuri etc. He ordered that work for legislation to ban sale of Gutka and mainpuri should be started immediately and said that all the factories producing these items should be sealed. He said that doctors treating the cancer disease are making the pleas that Gutka sale should be banned as people are dying at the hands of this disease.
