Across India, it's nearly impossible to walk through a street, board a train, or wait at a bus stop without spotting those unsightly orange-red stains — the result of rampant pan masala consumption and careless spitting. Public spaces, heritage sites, and even hospital walls are being ruined.

The photo attached speaks volumes. A vendor selling pan masala stands in front of a wall already stained with it — a visual reminder of how deep this issue runs.

This isn’t just a hygiene issue — it’s a matter of public health, civic responsibility, and environmental degradation.

A few companies may profit from pan masala sales, but at what cost? Is it worth trading our nation's cleanliness, public image, and health for the financial gain of a handful of corporations?

We demand stricter regulation — or better yet, a complete ban on pan masala products.

Let’s prioritize a cleaner, more dignified India over corporate profits. Sign this petition if you believe public spaces should be clean and respected.
