THE Federal Territory Health Department (JKWP) is planning to launch a major crackdown on shisha cafes in Kuala Lumpur in relation to the smoking ban at eateries.

Department director Dr Param Jeeth Singh told StarMetro that the crackdown was supposed to take place last month, but somehow the operators got wind of the exercise and the coronavirus outbreak required immediate attention.
