With New Year celebrations just around the corner, the district police have ramped up security measures to ensure a safe and smooth experience for revellers across the city. Alongside enhanced security arrangements, the traffic wing has made special provisions for hassle-free vehicular movement and parking near popular celebration hotspots. 
 
Key locations like Jubilee Park and Dimna Lake will witness a significant deployment of police forces due to their popularity among picnickers and families. Other areas under the security umbrella include Sir Dorabji Tata Park near Keenan Stadium, Bhatia Park in Kadma, Hudco Lake, and Ghorabandha Theme Park in Telco. 
 
The district police, under the supervision of SSP Kishore Kaushal, have devised a multi-layered plan to ensure public safety. The measures include: 
 
Static Deployment: A dedicated force of 100 personnel each will be stationed at Jubilee Park and Dimna Lake from 9 AM onwards on both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Similar arrangements will be in place at other major parks and picnic spots. 
 
Patrolling and Surveillance: Police will intensify patrolling across the city, with special attention to high-footfall areas. Drone cameras will be used to monitor Dimna Lake and Jubilee Park, where large crowds are expected. 
 
Drunk Driving Checks: To curb drunk driving, random checks using breath analyzers will be conducted on roads and at picnic spots. "Our goal is to prevent alcohol-related nuisances and ensure everyone’s safety," said an official. 
 
Special Checking Posts: Fifteen strategic checkpoints will be operational from 6 PM on Monday until 2 AM on Tuesday to monitor and penalize violators. 
 
The traffic police have also prioritized smooth vehicular movement. Adequate parking arrangements have been made close to popular celebration spots to avoid congestion. Clear signages and traffic wardens will guide motorists to designated parking areas. 
 
Drone cameras will provide an aerial view of Jubilee Park and Dimna Lake, enabling law enforcement to monitor crowd dynamics and intervene promptly if required. "Drone surveillance adds an additional layer of security, ensuring a bird's eye view of the hotspots," the official added. 
 
While the police are leaving no stone unturned, they have urged the public to cooperate by adhering to safety norms and avoiding reckless behavior. Families and youngsters have been advised to celebrate responsibly and prioritize safety. 
 
The district police’s proactive approach reflects their commitment to ensuring that the year-end and New Year festivities are memorable for all the right reasons. With meticulous planning and robust security measures in place, residents can look forward to a joyous and safe celebration.
