To ensure peaceful and safe New Year celebrations in and around Hyderabad, the police have announced several restrictions. Cyberabad Police, which is responsible for the belt around the city, including key areas of Hi-tech City and International Airport has decided to close down all the flyovers and the Outer Ring Road for the general traffic on the New Year.
The celebrations will be allowed only from 8 pm to 1 am. “If anyone is caught after 1 am, we will take stringent action,” said police commissioner CV Anand. The restrictions were being imposed to ensure there were no untoward incident and no atrocities against women and also to reduce the chances of accidents due to drunken driving. “last year such restrictions yielded good results and there was not a single road accident,” Anand noted.
The organisers of New Year Celebrations at all the resorts and star hotels have also been issued a warning that if any thing untoward happens they will be held responsible. Cyberabad region has 25 star hotels, 22 resorts and 260 farm houses.
