17 July 2013
Thiruvananthapuram

First-time offenders being caught for drunk driving in the State will have their driving licences suspended with the police deciding to take stern action against those caught driving under the influence of alcohol. The State Police Chief said the increasing road accidents due to drunk driving in the State had forced the police to act tough.

State Police Chief K.S. Balasubramanian has asked the police officers across the State to recommend to the Regional Transport Officers (RTO) the suspension of driving licence of those being caught for drunk driving during the checking and to initiate prosecution against them.

Blood Alcohol Content/Concentration (BAC) of 30 milligrams of alcohol per 100 ml of blood is fixed legally as the limit of alcohol in the blood for driving.
