City police officials on Tuesday asked managements of hotels convening New Year celebrations to procure breath analysers to check customers leaving their premises after partying.

This would help in checking drunken driving by persons attending parties at hotels, the police said.

Hotel owners should also make arrangements for customers by providing drivers or cabs so that the latter can reach their destinations safely.

Hyderabad Police Commissioner Anurag Sharma held a meeting with hotel managements on Tuesday and discussed security measures to be taken during the ensuing Christmas, New Year and other celebrations at the hotels.

The police told hotel owners to educate bouncers and other staff members to be courteous and polite with the customers.
