The government has introduced daytime 'alcoblow' tests in efforts to curb accidents caused by drunk driving this festive season. The IG said the police will this time deal differently with drunk drivers by having alcoblow tests along the highways both during the day and night. "People have gotten used to finding alcoblow officers at on the highway at the late hours of the night and by 2 or 3 AM in the morning they are gone, not anymore," he said. The IG also said that besides targeting drunk drivers, they will also target pedestrians who do not follow traffic rules. He said: "People crossing the roads anyhow without observing the traffic rules and imagining the driver has seen them will also be dealt with accordingly."
