OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon and Disney are likely to challenge the Union Health Ministry's recent notification that the streaming platforms will carry anti-tobacco warnings like theatres and TV shows, media networks have reported.
The amended rules come under the Cigarette and Other Tobacco Products Act, 2004.
