Read about the peaceful New Year celebration in Ludhiana, where most areas of the city remained calm and festive. Discover how the police ensured safety and dispersed any disturbances.
Dakshina Kannada is eagerly preparing to usher in the New Year with enthusiasm. Party organisers are reporting a positive response this year, as the rules of district administration and police are not so strict, compared to previous years. A lot of new places have been added as venues for the New Year bash. The celebrations are for everyone, from families to the younger generation. The city police have been receiving requests for event permissions for many days. The New Year event features a well-known band from Kolkata, international DJs, and other attractions. There has been a trend in the last few years to travel to Goa or other states for celebrations, but some people are choosing to celebrate in Mangaluru itself.
