December 31 New Year at Hussain Sagar: Hyderabad Police Restrictions

As the city is preparing to bid goodbye to the year 2024, the Hyderabad Police have not made any stone unturned to have a safe and incident-free New Year's Eve. With maintaining law and order in focus, police have issued guidelines for party organizers, revellers, and drivers of vehicles.

The guidelines indicate that all New Year's Eve parties must close by the set time, and no events will be conducted beyond the set hours. The police have also indicated that all contraventions of the guidelines will attract serious action, including prosecution.

To curb the accidents, the police have cautioned against drunk driving and established special checkposts to detect and prosecute offenders. The police have also cautioned against overspeeding and carrying excess passengers in vehicles.
