Following a series of fatal road accidents, the Bengaluru Traffic Police resumed its special drive against drunk driving. On Friday night, from 9.30 p.m. to a little after midnight, the police caught as many as 44 motorists driving under the influence of alcohol. They also registered over 1,400 cases of various violations including performing wheelies and stunts, rash and negligent driving, overspeeding, etc.
The drive had been suspended as a precautionary measure during the peak of the pandemic, but with most restrictions eased, the police decided to resume these checks given that an increasing number of people are taking their cars out in violation of night curfew.
