Traffic accidents, drunk driving arrests, and traffic congestion have been persistent issues in Assam, especially in urban areas like Guwahati. Over the past few months, there have been several reports of major traffic accidents, many of which have been caused by reckless driving, speeding, or driving under the influence. The Assam Police have responded by ramping up enforcement, conducting regular checkpoints to catch drunk drivers, and issuing traffic violation tickets. Drunk driving arrests have been a focal point in reducing the number of road fatalities, with officers conducting breathalyzer tests at major intersections.
Additionally, traffic congestion remains a pressing issue in Assam’s growing cities, especially during peak hours. To address this, the Assam Police have been working with local authorities to improve traffic management systems, introduce signal synchronization, and build better road infrastructure. Public awareness campaigns on safe driving practices, including the dangers of drunk driving, are also underway to educate residents about the importance of road safety and responsible driving.
