AHMEDABAD: If you are looking for a wet New Year party, it may be prudent to stay indoors. With city police under pressure to ensure a peaceful New Year eve, the police officials, particularly those of traffic department, have chalked out plans of elaborate night patrols and intensive checking drives on highways.
Enforcing ban on liquor is the top priority for city police this year. A senior city police official told TOI that the party scene is yet to hot up due to recent crackdown on farmhouses and bootleggers. "It surely has worked as deterrent and we are expecting more family and friend parties this year on the New Year eve. Our priority would be to stop eve-teasers and miscreants," said a senior city police official. He added that the recent incident where three teenage girls were caught inebriated has forced the police to keep in mind the emerging trends.
S M Khatri, deputy commissioner of police (traffic), said the department has 10 breathalyzers that would be used on December 31 night. "The instruments will be given to inspectors and sub-inspectors on patrol who will check any suspicious case and book the offender immediately. The officials will also keep an eye on unruly drivers," he said.
