The Commissionerate Police have put in place an elaborate security and traffic management plan ahead of Zero Night celebrations in Bhubaneswar, deploying 15 platoons of police force across key locations to prevent untoward incidents and ensure public safety during New Year festivities.

Police Commissioner S Dev Dutta Singh said heightened security arrangements will be in effect throughout the night, with special focus on crowd control, traffic regulation, prevention of drunken driving, and safety of women.

All police stations have been directed to closely monitor their respective jurisdictions and respond swiftly to any law-and-order or emergency situation.

“We have deployed 15 platoons of police force along with proper arrangements for traffic and designated teams at specific sites,” he said.

“All police stations have been instructed to monitor their jurisdiction. Late-night security has been beefed up, particularly to ensure the safety of women,” added Singh.

Focus On Traffic, Drunk Driving Checks

The Commissioner informed that special teams will be deployed at vulnerable and high-footfall locations, including major roads, party zones, hotels, and entertainment hubs. The Commissionerate Police have intensified checks against drunken driving, warning that strict action will be taken against violators.

“Consumption of liquor is permissible up to a certain limit and only at certain places, which has already been informed to the public,” Singh said. “Drunken driving is illegal, and we have already begun enforcing checks in this regard.”
