Keralam Home Minister Pledges Crackdown on Intoxicated Driving

#national #brief

Keralam Home Minister Ramesh Chennithala has announced a strict police crackdown on driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs following the death of a Cheranalloor crash victim. The Minister stated that such accidents, often involving innocent victims, have become widespread in the state and promised that the government would consider making existing laws more stringent.

Addressing the case of a minor accused in the recent fatal crash, Chennithala confirmed that police are moving to cancel the suspect's bail. He emphasized that the government is committed to ensuring justice, noting that the law applies equally to all citizens.

Editor's note: The brief captures the core message and official actions, though it omits the specific detail that the Home Minister downplayed the legal error in the appeal application.
