With just days left until 2025, the Bengaluru Police have made elaborate arrangements for the upcoming New Year celebrations in the city, including tight security deployment in heavy footfall areas to ensure safety of public and smooth flow of traffic.

A total of 11,830 police personnel, including senior officers along with civil defence staff and others, will be keeping a strict vigil across the city, monitoring any potential rave parties and drug-related activities.

Police said the New Year celebrations have been permitted only until 1 am by the government, and the public is allowed to conduct celebrations only within the prescribed time limit.

Addressing the media, Police Commissioner B Dayananda said that, like every year, Bengaluru Police have made elaborate security arrangements for the New Year celebrations in the city to ensure no untoward incidents occur.
