Bengaluru police issue strict guidelines for New Year celebrations
Heading out for New Year's in Bengaluru? Police have rolled out some pretty strict rules this year, especially for pubs, restaurants, and PGs.
These new measures are all about keeping everyone safe and making sure venues follow the Karnataka Public Safety Act.
If places don't stick to the rules, they could face legal trouble.
What's changing for your night out?
Pubs and restaurants now need to control crowds, set up high-quality CCTV cameras, check bags at the door, and get fire safety clearance before hosting parties.
Serving drinks past closing time is a no-go.
For those living in PGs: terrace celebrations will be monitored, and road celebrations, such as cake-cutting, are prohibited, and owners must keep track of who comes and goes—no random guests.
Plus, police will be cracking down on drug use during the festivities.
Stay safe and celebrate smart!
