Hyderabad: Shehar mein road accidents aur violations mein izafa dekhte hue Hyderabad Traffic Police ne drunk driving ke khilaf apna drive ab 24 ghante tak barha diya hai. Ab yeh checks sirf raat tak mehdood nahi, balki din ke waqt bhi jaari rahenge—khaaskar school hours mein, jahan school buses, vans aur autos ke drivers ko nishana banaya ja raha hai.
Joint Commissioner of Traffic Joel Davis ke hidayat par yeh sakht action us waqt liya gaya jab pichle mahine ke routine checks mein 35 school vehicle drivers ko nashe ki halat mein paya gaya. Ek driver ka blood alcohol level to 400 mg/100ml tak tha, jo ki intehai khatarnaak hai.
Yeh action City Police Commissioner CV Anand ke directives ke baad liya gaya, aur ab random checks Mint Compound, Khairatabad jaise high-traffic areas mein senior traffic officers ki nigrani mein kiye ja rahe hain.
Hyderabad mein is saal drunk driving ke khilaf karwai tezi se ho rahi hai. 2024 ke pehle 6 mahine mein hi 30,000 se zyada cases register ho chuke hain. In mein se taqreeban 1,300 drivers ko sirf fine nahi, jail bhi bheja gaya—kisi ko ek din, kisi ko poore 3 hafton tak ki saza hui.
Repeat violators par bhi sakht nazar hai. Ab tak 4,500 cases license cancellation ke liye flag kiye gaye, jismein 2,800 review ke liye bheje gaye aur 853 licenses already cancel ho chuke hain.
Police ne Transport aur Education Departments ko bhi likha hai ke school drivers ke liye subah aur shaam breath analysis checks mandatory banayein, taake bachon ki safety ensure ki ja sake.
Hala ke aam logon ka response is sakhti ko support karta hai, kuch motorists ne shikayat ki hai ke peak hours mein major intersections par checking se traffic jams ho rahe hain. Authorities ne pehle kam traffic areas mein checking ka wada kiya tha, lekin lagta hai ab strategy change ho chuki hai.
City Police Commissioner Joel Davis ne bhi warning di hai ke school drivers agar nashe mein paye gaye to license toh cancel hoga hi, saath hi unhein turant arrest bhi kiya jayega.
