In a recent development, the local authorities have announced a new initiative to improve road safety in the city. Under this initiative, traffic police will be conducting random sobriety tests on drivers to curb instances of drunk driving and enhance road safety. The tests will be carried out at various checkpoints throughout the city, especially during the weekends and late evenings when incidents of drunk driving tend to be higher. The authorities have emphasized the importance of responsible driving and the need to reduce road accidents caused by driving under the influence of alcohol.
Additionally, awareness campaigns will be launched to educate the public about the dangers of drunk driving and the legal repercussions associated with it. The aim is to create a culture of responsible driving and to instill a sense of accountability among motorists.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his support for the new initiative, highlighting the crucial role it plays in ensuring road safety. He commended the authorities for taking proactive measures to address the issue of drunk driving and emphasized the importance of collaborative efforts between the authorities and the public to create a safer road environment for all.
