Belarus Launches Crackdown on Drunk Driving

Increased Drunk Driving Accidents Prompt Special Belarusian Police Operation MINSK, BELARUS – A recent increase in traffic accidents involving drunk and unlicensed drivers in Belarus has prompted a special operation by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD). The operation, codenamed 'Filter' or 'Web', will run from June 7th to 10th and will utilize the republican monitoring system to identify and address violations. "Analysis of accident statistics shows a significant increase in incidents involving drunk drivers and those without proper licenses," stated an MVD spokesperson in a video announcement. "To address this, we are increasing patrols and using technology to enhance road safety." The operation will involve deploying additional traffic police officers, particularly in areas known for higher accident rates. The use of the republican monitoring system will allow for remote surveillance and quicker response times. The MVD urges citizens to report any instances of drunk or reckless driving by calling 102. The initiative aims to improve road safety and reduce the number of accidents caused by irresponsible driving. The MVD hopes that this proactive approach will create a safer environment for all road users.
