Penalty For Spitting

A day after increasing the fine for not wearing masks from Rs 500 to Rs 2,000, the Delhi government on Friday announced the same penalty for those caught violating quarantine rules, social distancing norms or chewing and spitting tobacco and pan masala.

To contain the spread of coronavirus, spitting saliva, gutka or tobacco in public places in Noida has been prohibited and violation of this can attract a penalty of Rs 500 for first time offenders and Rs 1,000 for repeat offenders, according to a new order.

Citizens may have to shell out a maximum fine of Rs 1 lakh for littering in public places, as the West Bengal Assembly passed a Bill to enhance the penalty for offenders.

Maharashtra Health Minister Deepak Sawant has proposed changes to the punishment for those caught spitting tobacco on the streets in the state. Apart from a hefty increase in the fine, Mr Sawant has also proposed to add eight hours of community service, by cleaning government offices and public hospitals, to the penalties for spitting.
