Traffic violations in Himachal

If you're in the habit of hitting the road after a few drinks, brace yourself—Himachal Pradesh Police is launching a hard-hitting campaign to crack down on drunken driving** from September 23 to 29, 2024.

Under the leadership of **DGP Dr. Atul Verma**, this week-long blitz is a no-nonsense response to the worrying spike in road crashes, particularly during the late evening hours of **9 PM to 11:30 PM**.

And the numbers don’t lie. This year alone, the police have recommended the suspension or cancellation of **2,345 licenses**, with a staggering **1,400 linked to drunken driving**.

These reckless drivers have been behind a rise in serious road accidents, and now the police are determined to put an end to it.

**Narvir Singh Rathore**, Additional SP of Traffic, Tourist, and Railway Unit, isn’t mincing words—drunken drivers are in for a rude awakening.

With the Himachal Police pulling out all stops, they’re utilizing advanced tech to track down violators.

This isn’t just a slap on the wrist; if you’re caught driving under the influence, **kiss your license goodbye**. 

The Shimla Police Headquarters has made it clear that field units must aggressively enforce traffic laws.

No more second chances or excuses—**drunken driving** is a serious offense, and the consequences are real. 

From **September 23 to 29**, expect an intensified police presence across the roads in Himachal.

If you’re thinking of taking a risk after a drink or two, better think again. Get ready for checkpoints, breathalyzer tests, and zero tolerance.

If you drink and drive, **you will lose your license**. Don’t be a statistic, and let’s keep Himachal’s roads safe. **#DrunkenDriving #RoadSafety #ZeroTolerance**.
