    New Year: People throng iconic spots to ring in 2023
    Major Indian cities witnessed massive crowd on New Year's eve

    People in Bengaluru, Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and other major cities turned up in big numbers as India welcomed the New Year 2023 in style at midnight. This was also the first time in almost two years that the COVID-19 restrictions were relaxed for New Year's eve. However, authorities were still cautious, keeping in mind the recent surge in cases in China.

    Why does this story matter?

    • While the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in China has put the Indian government on its toes, India is taking precautions, but no significant restrictions have been announced yet.
    • India has made RT-PCR tests compulsory for individuals arriving from Japan, Thailand, China, South Korea, and Singapore.
    • On Wednesday, Health Ministry sources claimed that India might record a surge in coronavirus cases in January.

    Delhi saw a massive gathering of people in front of the iconic India Gate. As per the news agency PTI, nearly 18,000 Delhi Police officers were deployed across the city for security reasons. Ahead of New Year's eve, numerous preparations were conducted for crowd management at the Kartavya Path. Parking sites arranged by the civic administration accommodated more than 1,000 cars and 40 buses.
