MARGAO: Margao traffic cell PI Mohan Gawde told The Goan that the bus plying on the Margao-Betul route was being driven by the owner itself. "During enforcement, we came across a bus driver smelling of lioqur at around 9.30 am. The breath analyzer test revealed that he had consumed around 299 mg of liquor. Our inquiry has further revealed that he was the owner of the bus. Being the owner of the bus, it was the responsibility of the owner to ensure the safety of the passenger. But, he was found to have consumed alcohol beyond the permissible limits thus endangering the lives of the passengers', PI Gawde said. While the driver was arrested under the relevant provisions of the law, the bus was later attached. Further investigations are on.
