Mobile Court run in the city to remove iIlegal tobacco advertisment.

On 13 June 2007, a mobile court in Dhaka City removed illegal cigarette advertising from three restaurants, one store,and one billiards center. In addition to removing the banned ads (a box displaying cigarettes for sale, light fixtures over billiards tables, signs inside restaurants, and so on, all displaying cigarette brand logos), the mobile court also fined the offenders.

Mobile court tears down signboards in law enforcement drive
Over a year following the passage of the tobacco control law, many companies continue to violate the law by using store signboards as a form of advertisement.  On 24 April 2006, the government took action to end these violations, by using a bulldozer in Dhaka City to tear down offending shop signboards advertising cigarettes.  The move by the government indicates a strong initiative for law enforcement.  The fact that the initiative was brought about due to collaboration among government, media and NGOs indicates the possibilities of such collaboration in enforcing other neglected laws as well, and thus responding positively to persistent claims that new laws are unnecessary since old ones are never enforced.
