New Delhi: After a year of pandemic, the traffic police will begin again demanding people because of drunk driving from Saturday night.
Traffic officers will be deployed at picked up for that purpose even when a special team will supervise driving under influence.
Muktesh Chander, Police Special Commissioner (Traffic), said that because the city was mostly reopened and the bar and restaurant back in business, it is necessary to control drunk drivers.
However, given the covid situation, special care will be taken to prevent infection.
“We will use exhaust pipes for breathalysers with new ones used at any time,” said Chander.
“We have to stop testing many people for alcohol levels when covid breaks because this is needed in close contact with the driver.
Now, because the case has been reduced and people out of partying, it is important to maintain a check.” In 2019, around 36,000 people were sued for.
Driving under influence, but Covid’s restrictions brought that number to 3,000 in 2020 and only 300 years.
Over the first few weeks of the trip, there will be a surprise check on weekdays with a tighter prosecution on weekends.
Senior traffic police officers said that because people had begun to roam from their homes for late at night and for recreation and eat, unlike in the days when Coronavirus infection is rampant, there is a need to prevent people from drunk driving.
“The crowd returned to the bar and pub especially because the burden of viral infections had dropped in the city,” appointing a traffic officer.
“That’s why we thought we started the drive to consume drivers for the excess consumption of alcohol starting at weekends must be fine.
All Covid-19 safety precautions will be taken.
All officers at the checkpoint have been asked to keep the number of adequate breathing pipes, Sanitis sanitis and mask.
