Authorities said the measures are aimed at preventing untoward incidents during large public gatherings expected on the final night of the year.
Cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, and Hyderabad have announced heightened patrols, traffic regulation plans, and strategic deployment at key public locations such as marketplaces, entertainment zones, and transit hubs. In some cities, police have also set up checkpoints and implemented traffic diversions to ease congestion during peak hours.
Senior officials stated that special teams have been assigned to monitor public spaces, while emergency response units remain on standby. CCTV surveillance and coordination with civic agencies have been strengthened to respond swiftly to any situation that may arise during celebrations.
Police have urged citizens to cooperate with security personnel, follow traffic advisories, and avoid risky behavior such as drunk driving. Public announcements and social media advisories were issued to inform residents about road closures, parking restrictions, and safety guidelines.
Authorities emphasized that the increased deployment is a precautionary step to ensure that New Year’s Eve celebrations remain safe and orderly. Normal policing arrangements are expected to resume once festivities conclude and crowds disperse.
