Governor Vajubhai Vala had held a meeting with Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa and Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai in July to discuss a possible ban on the sale and distribution of chewing tobacco products.

E V Ramana Reddy, additional chief secretary to the chief minister, and Additional Chief Secretary of Health and Family Welfare Department Jawaid Akhtar met the governor on Thursday.

A press release from the Raj Bhavan said the two officials would submit a progressive report to the chief minister on banning gutkha as well as scented and non-scented chewing tobacco. The officials said an ordinance on the matter would be issued within a week, the release said.
