The Phek Town Chakhesang Students’ Union went on a surprise inspection on October 30 and 31 to all the schools of Phek Town.
The union had recently circulated instructions (COTPA Act Regulations) to all the shops in the town to ensure that no shops were selling tobacco products within a 100 yard radius from the vicinity of schools, or anywhere, to minors/students in school uniforms.
But many shops were reportedly not complying with the regulations.
This led to the surprise inspection and raiding of shops, the union stated.
According to union, three shops were raided for violation of rules and regulations.
