In the memorandum, the MNS BEST Employees Union said the undertaking should also revoke the contract with the advertising companies for displaying such advertisements.

They said on the one hand the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) was putting boards against smoking everywhere, while on the other, they have allowed the advertising agencies to display the advertisements of Aishwarya smoking a cigarette on the buses, creating wrong impression in the minds of people.

In the interest of society, such advertisements should be removed immediately, they demanded.

Mr Gupta assured the delegation that necessary action would be taken.

If the BEST failed to take action, the MNS BEST Employees Union will take action in their own style, they indicated.
