The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has placed a ban on carrying Naswar on all the flights.

It was mentioned in the notification that all the Arab countries have included Naswar in the list of narcotics.

The CAA warned that from now onwards, strict action will be taken against passengers carrying naswar in their luggage. The passengers carrying Naswar with them would have to face legal proceedings.

The ban applies to the Hajj pilgrims as well.

The CAA and airport security force have placed banners at all the airports in this regard. The passengers have been advised against carrying Naswar in the banners.
