Special operations would be carried out throughout the country to arrest drivers driving under the influence of liquor from August 1, the Police Spokesperson’s Office said.
During a pilot project launched in the Western Province, police have arrested 41 people for driving under the influence of liquor.
The Spokesperson’s Office said that 19 of them were bus drivers.
It said that the main reason for the increasing number of road accidents is driving under the influence of liquor and that test kits for detecting drunk drivers have also been brought to the country.
