Hotels in Bhubaneswar have been advised by the city police to keep drivers reserved at their venues to drop off drunk revellers. The police have also recommended people to use their own drivers or cabs/auto-rickshaws if they plan to consume alcohol. Organisers of New Year parties have been instructed to keep at least five drivers to ensure the safety of the revellers. Ambulances are also suggested to be kept ready at the venues for any emergencies.
