Gurgaon is witnessing growing incidences of driving after heavy drinking which results in accidents, drunken brawls and violent incidents of road rage. Of the 4,183 cases registered since January this year, over 3,400 cases have been registered during the last three months.

The local police have decided to post the names and addresses of repeat offenders together with their photographs on the police website. Joint Police Commissioner, Alok Mittal explains: “This will not only discourage them but also other drivers from committing the crime of drink-driving.”

The Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Satender K. Gupta claims that their drive against drunken driving is yielding results. The Regional Transport Office is also being requested to cancel the licences of drivers who are booked repeatedly for drunken driving.

Gurgaon is a burgeoning city in Haryana adjoining south Delhi which grew at an unimaginable pace following land crunch in Delhi.
