    Bengaluru Commissioner of Police in a post on X (formerly known as Twitter), noted that arrangements have been inspected and the city is ready to welcome the New Year.

    A total of 11,830 police personnel, including senior officers along with civil defence staff and others, will be maintaining strict vigilance across the city, monitoring any potential rave parties and drug-related activities.

    Police said the government has permitted New Year celebrations only until 1 am, and the public is allowed to conduct celebrations only within the prescribed time limit.

    Further, according to Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, over 1,000 security cameras have been installed around the city for the same purpose, the report added.

    Here is how to avoid crowd crush

    To reduce the risk of being involved in a crowd crush, there are several steps you can take. First, plan your journey ahead by avoiding areas likely to experience heavy congestion, PTI reported.

    Local authorities often design crowd control measures, such as multiple celebration sites, to help with crowd distribution. If possible, delay your departure until after the fireworks display to avoid the rush toward public transport. Stay alert for signs of overcrowding, such as slow or halted movement, and move towards less crowded areas if necessary.

    Pay attention to signals of distress from those around you and help pass on critical information, such as asking the crowd to slow down. Extra care should be taken if you or someone you are with has mobility issues, is shorter, or experiences crowd anxiety.
