As the year comes to a close and New Year’s Eve approaches, Gujarat Police are intensifying traffic enforcement efforts across the state to ensure public safety during the celebrations. With an increase in traffic, public gatherings, and festivities, the police have rolled out a comprehensive plan to address potential risks such as drunk driving, accidents, and traffic violations.
One of the major focuses of the operation is drunk driving checks. Police will be setting up breathalyzer checkpoints at key locations, especially near popular tourist spots, restaurants, bars, and clubs. Officers will be working round-the-clock, aiming to discourage any attempts at driving under the influence, which is one of the leading causes of accidents during holiday celebrations.
In addition to drunk driving checks, road safety campaigns have been launched, emphasizing the importance of seatbelt usage, adherence to speed limits, and responsible driving. The police have also partnered with local authorities and organizations to raise awareness among the public about the risks of reckless driving, especially during festive times when many drivers are distracted or impaired.
Moreover, to accommodate the expected rise in traffic volume, police are focusing on traffic management by ensuring smoother flow of vehicles and minimizing congestion near busy areas. This includes deploying additional officers to direct traffic at high-density zones and ensuring that emergency vehicles can navigate without delays.
Public Safety Measures: Gujarat Police have also urged the public to exercise caution while participating in celebrations. The police are advising partygoers to use public transportation or designated drivers to avoid any risks associated with drunk driving. They have also increased patrolling in and around crowded areas to respond swiftly to any incidents that may arise.
Gujarat Police Commissioner has reassured citizens that the force is fully prepared for the New Year celebrations, and they are committed to ensuring a safe environment for all. Public cooperation is essential to make these initiatives successful, and the police encourage people to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activity or violations.
