To manage potential traffic congestion on December 31, 2023, special traffic arrangements have been devised. Police personnel will be stationed at malls, cafes, restaurants, and hotels hosting New Year events to prevent any law and order issues.
Special CP Traffic SS Yadav emphasized, “On 31st December, Delhi Police will ensure arrangements and deployment at places where people are expected to gather.” The police will operate in shifts, with the first shift from 5 pm to midnight and the second from 12 am to 6 am.
To curb stunt-biking and hooliganism, Deputy Commissioner of Police (northeast) Joy Tirkey declared a strict stance, stating, “I will not allow any motorcycle rider showing stunt or triple riding at any cost.”
