Hyderabad: Police gears up for new year’s eve and started holding meetings with the management of hotels, restaurants, pubs, and event organizers in Hyderabad.
As per the decision taken by the Cyberabad police during a meeting with event organizers and others, all the new year events should end before 1 am on January 1, 2023.
Apart from the time, the organizers have been instructed to ensure that no minor attends the party that is intended for adults. In order to confirm the age, a copy of the valid identity cards must be collected.
In order to ensure surveillance, officials have asked the organizers to install cameras at the venue. Though singers and performers can be part of the events, no vulgarity is allowed.
To curb noise pollution, officials instructed that the sound of the musical events should not go beyond the premises of the event.
In addition to these instructions, police decided to take strict action against persons involved in any act that disturbs the public or creates hatred among classes of people or hurts religious sentiment.
