Download In Nepal, driving after just a sip of alcohol is an offence.
The law has zero tolerance for drink-driving. But many Nepalis drink and drive anyway – with a massive road toll as a result.
Over seventeen hundred people were killed in the last full year’s statistics, and more than eleven thousand injured.
Last December, Kathmandu’s Metropolitan Traffic Police launched a campaign against drink-driving.
Over four months, the police have fined up to 200 people every day – around 17 thousand in total.
Rajan Parajuli joins the traffic police night shift to see the campaign in action.
