HYDERABAD: Telangana police have launched Bluetooth-enabled breath analysers to be used during drunken drive checks.
Additional director general (Railways & Road Safety) Mahesh Bhagwat on Thursday distributed 50 devices to the traffic personnel from 20 police units after a day-long training on the devices at the director general of police (DGP) office in the city on Thursday.
“These devices will improve the expertise of police officers,” Mahesh Bhagwat added.
Traffic officials said that with the old devices, the test reading has to be keyed in on a tab and then a ticket is printed. But with these Bluetooth-enabled devices, the print can be issued from the device itself, saving time.
Bhagwat thanked Diageo and CSRBOX, an NGO for donating the breathalysers with hands-on training to the personnel.
