Gurugram Police Order Makes Bars Liable for Drunk Drivers

The order cites BNSS Section 168 in response to a spike in road deaths.

Overview

  • Notices instruct bars and restaurants to deploy staff to monitor patrons, arrange cabs or drivers, and prevent intoxicated customers from leaving behind the wheel.
  • Establishments must post clear warnings or run electronic tickers in parking areas outlining the dangers and legal consequences of drunk driving.
  • Police warned that facilities found non-compliant will face strict action under the enforcement drive.
  • Officials also directed courteous policing with checkpoint removal in CCTV-covered areas and heightened vigilance for high-performance vehicles and superbikes, including Thar and Bullet.
  • Gurugram Traffic Police launched a Google Maps tie-up now active on 129 major roads, providing real-time hazard alerts and displaying speed limits as the city reports about 345 traffic deaths this year.
