PANDM in a press release that they had seized a large amount of various tobacco products from the shop on September 2 during a drive conducted by the volunteers of PANDM in affiliation with the Food Safety Administration, led by the Designated Officer Tekcham Brojendra Khaba who worked closely with the President of PANDM Yumnamcha Dilipkumar to bring the drive to fruition.
PANDM expressed their gratitude towards the Food Safety Administration officials and the police officers who provided timely help.

PANDM also called on all authorities concerned and the public to support them in all their future endeavours.
