(5 of 5) [CRLMB-10345/2025] "86. Drunken driving has become a menace to our society. Every day drunken driving results in accidents and several human lives are lost, pedestrians in many of our cities are not safe. Late night parties among urban elite have now become a way of life followed by drunken driving. Alcohol consumption impairs consciousness and vision and it becomes impossible to judge accurately how far away the objects are. When depth perception deteriorates, eye muscles lose their precision causing inability to focus on the objects. Further, in more unfavourable conditions like fog, mist, rain etc., whether it is night or day, it can reduce the visibility of an object to the point of being below the limit of discernibility. In short, alcohol leads to loss of coordination, poor judgment, slowing down of reflexes and distortion of vision". mä fofu'p; esa ekuuh; loksZPp U;k;ky; ds }kjk efnjk dk lsou dj xkMh pykus dks xaHkhj ekuk gSA izkFkhZ@vfHk;qDr ds fo#) u'ks dh voLFkk esa rst xfr o ykijokgh ls xkM+h pykrs gq, 8&9 O;fDr;ksa dks VDdj ekjdj 3 O;fDr;ksa dh e`R;q dkfjr djus rFkk 7 O;fDr;ksa ds migfr dkfjr djus rFkk VDdj ekjus ds i'pkr Hkh xkM+h dks ugha jksddj pykrs gq, ys tkus ,oa xkM+h NksM+dj ekSds ls Hkkx tkus dk xaHkhj izd`fr dk vkjksi gSA vr% izdj.k ds leLr rF;ksa] ifjfLFkfr;ksa ,oa izkFkhZ@vfHk;qDr ds fo:) vkjksfir vijk/k dh xaHkhjrk dks n`f"Vxr j[krs gq, izdj.k ds xq.k&nks"kksa ij fVIi.kh fd;s fcuk bl izØe ij izkFkhZ@vfHk;qDr dks tekur dk ykHk fn;k tkuk mfpr izrhr ugha gksrk gSA ifj.kker% izkFkhZ@vfHk;qDr mLeku [kku iq= ,glku [kku dh vksj ls izLrqr ;g tekur izkFkZuk i= vLohdkj dj [kkfjt fd;k tkrk gSA (CHANDRA PRAKASH SHRIMALI),J KISHAN SONI/Res.
