TPN , Hyderabad : In a significant move to combat reckless driving and ensure road safety, the Hyderabad police have announced the introduction of drunk driving tests on the Outer Ring Road (ORR). This initiative comes as part of the Rachakonda police’s ongoing efforts to prevent accidents attributed to drunk driving and other dangerous behaviors.
Following a thorough analysis of accident causes on the ORR, the police have identified reckless driving and alcohol consumption as primary factors contributing to numerous incidents. To address these issues, testing for intoxication will soon be conducted at key entry and exit points along the ORR.
In addition, the Rachakonda police have established accident analysis prevention teams to monitor and manage traffic effectively. Commissioner Sudhir Babu has indicated that proposals aimed at enhancing road safety have been submitted to the central government.
To further improve accountability, police officials have acquired 100 body cameras to monitor interactions between traffic police and the public. This comprehensive approach underscores the commitment of the Rachakonda police to creating a safer driving environment for all road users.
