The worlds biggest smoking ban came into force but try telling some..even Policemen..
Om Prakash, an affable motorcycle policeman patrolling south Bombay in the midday sun.
His ears muffled by his enormous crash helmet, Constable Prakash misheard The Times query: whether he had yet fined any itinerant smokers caught lighting up in a public place.
Instead, he thought that the request was for directions to a suitable spot to enjoy a cigarette. “Yes sir, over there at bus stop. Sit down. Most comfortable,” he said, flashing a smile. “But surely smoking in public is now illegal? And isn't smoking at bus stands explicitly prohibited?” The Times asked.
“Which country?” Constable Prakash asked, cheerfully oblivious. “UK? Very good.” He gave a thumbs up as he zoomed off into the traffic.
loveable rogue
