143 tonnes of tobacco products seized

A total of 143 tonnes of banned chewing tobacco and its raw materials were seized from an unauthorised factory on a farm in Dhaid, Khaleej Times reported.

The farm was being misused for the manufacture, trade and storage of neswar by the workers, the report said.
“The civic body’s inspection teams had been keeping a surveillance on the farm after they received information about the illegal activities there. They monitored the movements of the workers and caught some of them red-handed while manufacturing neswar inside a warehouse that was converted into a makeshift factory. We managed to confiscate 143 tonnes of the material, which was disposed of safely. The workers who were caught from the factory were referred to the authorities for legal action,” Director of Al Dhaid City municipality Ali Mussabah Al Tunaiji was quoted as saying.
Neswar is a type of chewing tobacco with green tobacco and lime powder that is widely popular among the people in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Central Asia and some parts of Iran. It is banned in the UAE.
