Another commented, “These gutkha eaters should be banned from public spaces and kept under camera surveillance with hefty fines. Make them pay for destroying public property.”A third user remarked, “That’s disappointing to hear. Let’s hope people start respecting public spaces.”One more added, “I’m pretty sure there are CCTV cameras in and around the area. Identify such people and fine them heavily.
