India: the no-smoking police doing its rounds...

At New Delhi railway station, signboards now announce that it's a smoke-free zone. 

"Smoking and spitting are strictly prohibited in this area," the boards say. 

This is one of India's biggest railway stations and is used by nearly half a million people daily. Thousands of people crowd the platforms. 

I'm here with a team of anti-tobacco enforcers from the Delhi authorities who are looking for people violating the ban on smoking in public places which came into effect on 2 October. 

It covers an exhaustive list of places which are defined as public. More + video...
