ALCOHOL METERS IN SHORT SUPPLY? BY Stephen Dias DONA PAULA 9422443110
What a surprise I got yesterday! I asked a traffic policeman in Dona Paula why clearly intoxicated tourists are not been checked for alcohol consumption while riding two wheelers as I find them driving recklessly all over Panjim. The reply was that their instruments are not working and if they fine someone the law goes against them as proofs cannot be given in court. Although all of us know that many of these tourists are causing disturbances, police are helpless. There is neither CCTV on roads nor alcohol meters. When will our police have the tools they need?! WHAT A SHAME! IT LOOKS THAT GOVERNMENT LOST ITS CONTROL.
