Dussehra marks the triumph of good over evil, and for the Salaam Bombay Foundation, the main evil that needs to be defeated is tobacco — be it in the form of cigarettes or khaini.

The launch took place at Jamboli Maidan at Worli and compelled curious residents of the nearby BDD Chawl to flock to their windows overlooking the grounds.
