Hyderabad: Two-day drive and detailed BAC profile In Hyderabad, a two-day special drive on March 13 and 14 led to 364 motorists being booked for driving under the influence. Of those, 313 were riding two-wheelers, 25 were driving three-wheelers, and 26 were operating four-wheelers or other vehicles. Police also released a granular distribution of measured BAC levels among offenders. Sixty-six recorded BAC levels between 30 mg and 50 mg, 174 were between 51 mg and 100 mg, 68 fell between 101 mg and 150 mg, and 29 registered between 151 mg and 200 mg. A further 12 offenders measured between 201 mg and 250 mg, eight between 251 mg and 300 mg, and seven were above 300 mg. These figures illustrate the range of intoxication levels detected, with the largest cohort falling in the 51 mg to 100 mg bracket during the Hyderabad drive. [source: The Hindu - Telangana]
Malkajgiri: Majority two-wheelers, with some high BAC readings Across the Malkajgiri commissionerate, weekend checks by traffic police apprehended 223 motorists for drunk driving. The majority were two-wheeler riders (194), followed by 21 four-wheeler drivers and eight three-wheeler drivers. Officials released a BAC profile that showed 204 offenders with levels between 36 mg and 200 mg. Another 10 measured between 201 mg and 300 mg, while nine recorded higher levels between 301 mg and 550 mg. The data indicates that while most cases were concentrated in the lower to mid BAC ranges, a smaller subset registered elevated readings. [source: The Hindu - Telangana]
Cyberabad: Vehicle-wise split; BAC details not fully available In the Cyberabad commissionerate, traffic police booked 262 motorists during a similar drive. Of these, 205 were riding two-wheelers, five were driving three-wheelers, 50 were behind the wheel of four-wheelers, and two were operating heavy vehicles. While the report notes vehicle-type distribution for Cyberabad, the detailed BAC-level breakdown is not fully available in the provided text. Nevertheless, the tallies underscore that two-wheeler riders formed the largest share of those booked in Cyberabad as in the other commissionerates. [source: The Hindu - Telangana]
Patterns across the three commissionerates Taken together, the special drives booked 849 motorists for drunk driving across Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Malkajgiri over the weekend. In each commissionerate, two-wheeler riders accounted for the largest share of offenders, reflecting the heavy presence of two-wheelers on city roads. Hyderabad’s figures included the most detailed BAC breakdown, with significant numbers recorded in the 51 mg to 100 mg band and smaller cohorts at progressively higher levels. Malkajgiri’s data similarly showed most readings within 36 mg to 200 mg, with a smaller number above 300 mg. Cyberabad’s data, while comprehensive on vehicle types, did not include complete BAC-level details in the provided report. [source: The Hindu - Telangana]
What the numbers suggest The weekend operations indicate sustained enforcement by traffic police across the metropolitan area, with targeted checks leading to hundreds of cases in a short span. The distribution of cases across vehicle types shows that two-wheelers are a consistent focal point for enforcement outcomes, and detailed BAC snapshots from Hyderabad and Malkajgiri suggest a wide spectrum of intoxication levels among offenders. While the highest BAC categories included relatively fewer offenders, the presence of such cases points to continued risks on the roadways. [source: The Hindu - Telangana]
Looking ahead Authorities’ publication of detailed, range-based BAC data for Hyderabad and Malkajgiri offers a window into the prevalence of different intoxication levels among offenders detected in these drives. With Cyberabad’s BAC details not fully available in the provided text, further updates could add clarity to citywide patterns. For commuters and residents, the figures highlight the ongoing enforcement emphasis against drunk driving and underscore the importance of compliance during traffic checks across the city’s three commissionerates.
