00:00Peace be upon you.

00:04How are you?

00:08Peace be upon you. How are you all?

00:12How are you?

00:14As we all know, in the past, Dobi was considered as a restricted area.

00:18As we all know, in the year 2000, Switzerland was the first country to fight for Dobi to be a restricted area.

00:27What is your opinion on this?

00:31Of course I am grateful.

00:34Finally, Dobi being a place,

00:37a place, a public area visited by mothers or wives who brought their children.

00:54Because it has become a very public place where people sometimes took to rest.

01:03So, I am very grateful that Dobi was made a restricted area on the 20th of January.

01:15Okay.

01:17What is the date on the 20th?

01:20The 28th.

01:23The 28th will be the 20th...

01:26The 23rd.

01:28So, the construction of Dobi will be completed on the 1st of January, 2025.

01:38So, that will be the 29th?

01:4128th.

01:43Before this, it was the 23rd.

01:45Oh, it was the 23rd.

01:46So, we rearranged everything and it became the 28th.

01:49Okay.

01:50That is a new arrangement.

01:55But it has been rearranged again.

01:57I have not seen how it has been rearranged.

02:00So, before this, there were 28 restricted smoking areas in public areas.

02:06This will be the 29th on the 1st of January, 2025.

02:13Sorry, the 28th or 29th?

02:16The 28th.

02:17The total is the 28th.

02:20Now, the 28th.

02:25Wait a minute.

02:26If we say the 28th before January, this will be the 29th.

02:30Unless we put this as a restriction on the 1st of January, 2025.

02:39Right?

02:40The 1st of January, 2025.

02:42So, it is not included yet.

02:44If it is the 27th or 28th, it will be an addition.

02:48Okay, come on. Don't confuse me.

02:50We don't want to confuse our media friends.

02:52So, how many are there now?

02:54The 28th.

02:56The 23rd.

03:07I was holding on to what Dr. Rana said.

03:10Do we have the 23rd or the 28th?

03:12In the food register, we have the 23rd.

03:17Okay.

03:18So, when we make a new register, we have the 28th.

03:22But this is the red one.

03:23Okay, this is a very good point.

03:25In the food register, we have the 23rd as a restriction.

03:31Okay.

03:32When we re-arrange the new register, the 852,

03:35we have the 28th as a restriction.

03:39The new two are included.

03:41We didn't mention that earlier.

03:43So, if the 28th is included, the 2B is included.

03:46We don't have the 29th.

03:49Okay.

03:50So, the new one is the 2B building.

03:54The second one is the government workplace building.

04:00All of them?

04:01Yes.

04:02The government workplace building.

04:05All of them?

04:06Yes, all of them.

04:08This is also the 1st of January restriction.

04:11So, all offices, both government and private.

04:17Yes.

04:18So, just so you know, the confusion earlier was the 23rd in the food register.

04:25Yes.

04:26The 28th as a whole, including these two,

04:30is a restriction on the smoking product in the 852 register.

04:37I also just understood.

04:41Okay.
