    It is stated in the puranas the gods and goddesses were drinking Soum Rus, Surah Paan, Baang & many other more intoxicating brands prepared in the heaven by devataas and were full at the brim.

    Come to Mangalore and Bangalore other than Porbulnakkul how many are surveying the Roads and falling on the roads unconsciously, In KSA many Saudy's are drinking & driving. Mokeda Karkera jaasti pardh comment korodchi aava.

    Agreed we should show some compassion. But what about deterrents, discipline, examples to be set. The society should choose what is best, considering if old methods have worked in the past or not. We can't continue doing the same mistakes. The future gen should be given hope of a better future where things are fair & equal.

    Yes, its a mistake by this cop to create this nuisance.

    The first thought that came to my mind- is this mistake greater than the "mistakes" or "nuisance" our so called politicians create day in day out at the Lok Sabha? They are so ill mannered and create obstacles to carry on proceedings in the house, thereby causing losses in crores when in fact they are to use that time productively for the betterment of the country. Who will bring these rascals to face justice? who will take them to task?

Daily drinking people never do some dramas. Are in control. Once in a year if drink..such things happened. They presume..alochol nothing but same like plain water. They not able to assume on that time..it started to work slowly after half an hour. Idiots even giving liquor to cats..dogs..hens..pigs..monkeys..and see maaza latter..that also raw.

    Tell the truth mangalore,here I think you are not aware the situation of mangalore traffic police or other police.How many times police let go all offenders in traffic for a good amount.so you need not shoot to others comment..It is known to everyone .This police must have drunk after duty as it is so quoted.whatever it is he has done wrong.Afterall he was in uniform.Thats not allowed so he should be warned not immediately suspended.As he is a govt.servent he can be suspended after three warnings as I know.He is a sick person when he is drunk.Send him to treatment so that early he can be cured.
