The Bengaluru police announced on Tuesday that they will be closely monitoring the New Year celebrations in the city to prevent the law-and-order issues. The police also warned miscreants and said that the whole city will be under surveillance with extra CCTV and drone cameras.
A tweet in the official handle of Bengaluru police read, “If you think we can’t see you, think again. We are ensuring adequate lighting in crowded areas, increased CCTV and drone surveillance during NYE. Let’s all pledge to keep Namma Ooru, Safe Bengaluru.”
The Karnataka government has already issued the guidelines for upcoming New Year celebrations as the surge in Covid-19 cases in parts of the world. “All celebrations in connection with New Year’s Eve (31st Dec 2022), and New Year (1st Jan 2023) should be completed by 1 am on 1st Jan 2023 & 2nd Jan 2023 respectively,” said an advisory by the state government.
