One road safety drive from Neemuch,Madhya Pradesh has caught attention now,and honestly,this is not small thing ah . During ongoing Drug-Free India Week,traffic police started checking bus drivers specially to see if anyone was driving under influence.
And when we talk about bus drivers,this becomes even more serious because one wrong decision can put many passengers at risk at same time . It is not like private vehicle matter only .
This special enforcement drive was done under supervision of SP Rajesh Vyas,ASP Hemlata Agarwal,and City SP Kiran Chauhan . Police carried out checks at local bus stand and used breathalyzer tests for all bus drivers there.
During drive,traffic police issued 49 challans totaling ₹22,400 for different traffic violations . That number itself shows how casually some rules are still being taken.
But main shock came when one driver tested positive for alcohol consumption . Police then seized bus and started legal process against driver of Rajhans bus,registration number DD01J9995.
Few things standing out clearly here:
- 49 challans totaling ₹22,400 were issued during enforcement drive.
- Rajhans bus with registration number DD01J9995 was seized after driver tested positive for alcohol consumption.
- Case was registered under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act.
And tbh,this is where strict action feels necessary . Drunk driving is dangerous in any case,but when driver is carrying public passengers,it becomes completely different level of risk.
Police also educated drivers about dangers linked with intoxicated driving and why passenger safety cannot be treated lightly . Routine inspections were also part of whole exercise to prevent drunk driving and reduce road accidents.
Now driver will be presented in court after seizure of bus,and authorities say they will keep monitoring this enforcement drive as week continues . Good step for sure,but bigger question is how many such drivers are still slipping through on normal days…
