Hyderabad, Dec 31 : Cyberabad Police Commissioner V.C. Sajjanar has termed drunk drivers as terrorists on the roads.
“People driving a vehicle under the influence of alcohol are no less than terrorists who kill innocent people indiscriminately on the roads,” said the commissioner who made a surprise visit to all the traffic check posts on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday.
Sajjanar said the people who follow traffic rules on the roads even when police are not there and ensure their and others’ safety are real patriots.
“Against all popular misconceptions, it is found that most of the drunk drivers are highly educated, employed persons. Shockingly, many of them have been to or stayed in some of the big cities like New York, Melbourne, Singapore, Dubai, etc., where they would never think of committing any traffic rule violation. But, here in their home state, they indulge in these dangerous acts at the cost of safety of themselves and other innocent people on roads. This aspect needs self-introspection by the citizens,” he said.
