Thirteen of the fifteen deaths recorded by Police in the last two weeks are liquor – related.

Police Chief of Operations, ACP Maretino Qiolevu says this is a reminder to all Fijians to enjoy the New Year responsibly.

ACP Qiolevu says as the New Year celebrations continue, Fijians should drink within their limits.

“You know you limit and you drink within your limit and ensure that you follow the right crowd, and some of these night clubs, their operating hours are up till 5 in the morning. It doesn’t mean that you stay in the clubs till 5 in the morning, you know your limit and once you know that it is enough, you go home.”

He is urging motorists to abide by the road rules.

Police will also be present in picnic spots, towns, cities and highways today to ensure everyone abides by the law.
