Mobile court tears down signboards in law enforcement drive
Over a year following the passage of the tobacco control law, many companies continue to violate the law by using store signboards as a form of advertisement.  On 24 April 2006, the government took action to end these violations, by using a bulldozer in Dhaka City to tear down offending shop signboards advertising cigarettes.  The move by the government indicates a strong initiative for law enforcement.  The fact that the initiative was brought about due to collaboration among government, media and NGOs indicates the possibilities of such collaboration in enforcing other neglected laws as well, and thus responding positively to persistent claims that new laws are unnecessary since old ones are never enforced.
