After Hyderabad, breathalysers made a must in Kolkata bars

Hyderabad Police showed the way in September 2016 and Kolkata Police followed it this year.

Soon after the car crash in south Kolkata that killed modelturnedactress Sonika Singh Chauhan and left actor, Vikram Chatterjee, who was at the wheel, severely injured, Kolkata Police has instructed all pubs and nightclubs in the city to maintain breathalysers.

At a meeting with owners of 30 city- based bars and nightclubs on Saturday, the additional commissioner (I) of city police, Vineet Goyela, instructed them to maintain breath analysers.

“We have instructed bar authorities to ensure that anyone drinking beyond the permissible driving limit, is not allowed to occupy driver’s seat. They have been asked to hire a pool of drivers to drive the drunk customers back home. If the car owner concerned does not allow any driver to occupy the driver’s seat, the bar authorities will arrange a cab for the customer concerned and in the mean time, his vehicle will be custody of bar or nightclub authorities,” a Kolkata Police official present at the meeting said.

Owners have to complete the process within a fortnight. However, the police official said, that system will be applicable between 11 PM to 2 AM, and hence only bars and nightclubs with extended bar license facilities will have to comply. MBBS seats BDS seats

West Bengal governor Keshari Nath Tripathi was admitted at a city hospital Sunday morning after he bled from the nose, official sources said.

Tripathi, whose condition is stable now, was rushed to a private hospital at around 7.30 AM when the octogenarian started bleeding from his nose due to high blood pressure, a senior official of the Raj Bhawan said.

“The governor was admitted with acute severe Epistaxis (nose bleeding). He was found to have active bleeding from deviated nasal septum with nasal spur in left nostril with sinusitis,” a released issued by the hospital said.

“The governor is stable now. But the doctors have decided to keep him under observation throughout the day,” a hospital staff member said.

West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee visited the hospital later in the evening and met with the doctors.

State education minister Partha Chatterjee and CPI-M leader Sujan Chakraborty and a few leaders of the BJP too visited Tripathy at the hospital.
