In preparation for the upcoming New Year's Eve celebrations, the Bengaluru Police has rolled out a comprehensive and multi-layered security plan specifically for the bustling central areas of the city. The arrangements, announced on 30 December 2025, are designed to ensure public safety and manage large crowds expected to gather for the festivities.
Key Security Measures and Prohibited Items
The police have issued a clear list of items that will not be permitted in the celebratory zones. Bags, sharp objects, and similar articles are strictly prohibited from being carried into the designated high-security areas. This move aims to prevent any potential security threats and streamline the process of checking revellers.
Strategic Placement of Frisking Points
To enforce these restrictions and screen attendees, the authorities have installed dedicated frisking gates at several critical junctions. The primary points where security checks will be conducted include:
- Anil Kumble Circle
- Kaveri Junction
- Church Street, a popular nightlife hub
These strategic locations were chosen to filter the flow of people entering the core celebration zones in central Bengaluru.
Ensuring a Safe Celebration
The elaborate security blueprint underscores the police department's focus on pre-emptive planning. By controlling access points and banning potentially dangerous items, the force intends to mitigate risks and allow citizens to welcome the New Year in a secure environment. The public is advised to cooperate with police personnel, travel light, and be prepared for checks to avoid delays.
These annual measures reflect the standard operating procedure for managing large-scale public events in the metropolis, balancing the spirit of celebration with paramount safety concerns.
