Maharashtra has banned the sale of 'Sting' energy drink and similar intoxicating substances within 500 meters of schools. This decision follows concerns about ingredients unsuitable for children and their impact on students. The Food and Drug Administration will enforce this restriction, and schools will conduct awareness programs on the health risks of energy drinks. The government aims to strengthen these measures and ensure effective implementation.
