Drunk drivers must be punsihed heavily. But it will never happen in India. Our country is not like USA or UK where police are free to arrest even president's Bush daughters for keeping liquer with them despite of their being under aged. Similarly, Prime Minister Blayer (UK) had to visit the police station to sign the bond personally to get his son out of the police station.
Another point which is also important is that we should also not favour illegal encroachments of the pavements or the road sides. Had the people not been sleeping on the pavements, there would not have been any deaths inspite of rash driving. Why not we question authorities why people are allowed to sleep on the payments,which is also "illegal". No one is authorized to use govt. property as their own "house-varandah" for sleeping purposes. If they do so,they should also put into the jail as it happens in other civilized country. In order to stop this kind of rampant illegal encroachments of payments, these people should also be penalized.
Our law should be made strict as much possible for both (1) drunk drivers and (2) the people who use pavements for their personal use.
