Mumbai residents may not be able to get away with drunk driving anymore. Mumbai Police has partnered with Uber to install breathalysers at the city's bars and pubs.

The breathalyser kiosk will read the alcohol content in a person's blood and flash a red light if it's over the legal limit. It will also help the person book an Uber cab, instead of driving and flash a promo code offering a discounted ride.

The first kiosk has already been installed in the nightclub Nook in Kurla's Phoenix Marketcity. In 2015, Uber had tied up with Breathometer, a US company that made the world's first smart phone breathalysers to tackle drunk driving.

"Through this campaign, we aim to build awareness against drunk-driving and give people a convenient and reliable ride back home," Shailesh Sawlani, General Manager, Uber Mumbai, said in a statement. "We hope to work with the Mumbai Traffic Police to install these devices across all bars and pubs in the city."

Mumbai Police had been facing an acute shortage of breath analysers. A recent court hearing revealed that it had only 119 of these devices, as opposed to the required 327. In February, the Bombay High Court had directed the police to get breath analysers within four months.
