Don't give liquor licence along highways: Centre
The Centre has asked states to not issue licence to liquor vendors along National Highways considering the "deadly figures" of drunken driving, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Monday. Inceptors with breath analysers have been provided to states to check cases of drunken driving, he added. Drunken driving has caused around 1,18,840 accidents in the past five years in India.
