Gurugram Police to Conduct Breathalyzer Tests at All Entry Toll Plazas

Gurugram, 1 Dec 2025: In a strong move to curb drunk driving and prevent road accidents, Gurugram Police have announced stringent checks at all major entry points to the city. Drivers entering Gurugram—whether private, commercial, or heavy vehicles—will now be screened using breath analyzers at toll plazas before entering the city.

The initiative covers all five major toll plazas, including Sarhaul, Khaiderkhedaula, Mehrauli, Ghamdaj, KMP, and Dwarka Expressway tolls. The directive, issued last week by DGP O.P. Singh, mandates that checks will be conducted four days a week, with each session lasting four hours. Both traffic police and local area police will be deployed to man the checkpoints.

Addressing Road Safety Concerns
Gurugram has witnessed numerous accidents caused by drivers under the influence of alcohol. In November alone, 2,533 challans were issued for drunk driving, and 2,933 driver licenses were suspended. To further reduce accidents, the police have decided to expand their weekend “Drunk and Drive” checks to all toll entry points. Vehicles driven under the influence will face strict penalties, including challans, vehicle seizure, and license suspension.

Enforcement Procedures
Police at the toll plazas will issue challans under the Motor Vehicles Act to drivers found in a highly intoxicated state. These challans are then forwarded to the court for further action. Drivers exceeding 50 ml of alcohol in their system will face license suspension, while those with up to 500 ml may have their vehicles seized.

Operational Details
The checks will be conducted four days a week, from 6 PM to 10 PM. Officers have received detailed instructions to ensure smooth operations. “This initiative aims to enhance road safety and reduce accidents in the city,” said Dr. Rajesh Mohan, DCP Traffic.

With this move, Gurugram Police aim to send a clear message: drinking and driving will not be tolerated, and strict measures are in place to protect citizens on the road.
