On New Year's eve, as many as 957 drunk drivers were caught in drunk and drive cases. Till date, this is the highest number of drivers caught in a single day. As even Ola and Uber were on strike, people had to drive their own vehicles, which ended up putting them in trouble.

According to the additional commissioner of police, traffic, Jitender, not only for drunk and driving, the police also booked cases against those indulging in rash and dangerous driving and for triple-riding on bikes. “Over 100 teams, both static and mobile, were deployed across the city. There were also decoy teams on the roads to catch road rule violators,” said Jitender. “All enforcement works were recorded using cameras for the purpose of evidence,” he said.

Apart from seizing 957 vehicles, all of them will also be given counselling and be produced in court in the coming days.
