Delhi traffic police are cracking down on reckless driving during Holi celebrations, especially among those under the influence of bhaang. While breathalyzers can't detect bhaang, officers use their experience to identify and issue challans for dangerous driving. In previous years, drivers have offered various excuses for their behavior, often trying to charm officers with sweets or friendly gestures. However, police remain firm in enforcing traffic rules, regardless of the festive atmosphere. Last year, Delhi police issued over 7,600 challans during Holi, including 559 for drunken driving. This year, they have already issued more than 800 challans for similar offenses, emphasizing the importance of safety on the roads.
