Hyderabad: In view of the new strain of COVID-19 that emerged in the United Kingdom (UK) that is known to be fast-spreading across countries, Cyberabad Commissioner of Police VC Sajjanar, on Friday, announced that all kinds of public entertainment programs would be banned on New Year’s Eve (NYE).
Though prohibitory orders have not been issued so far, the party-goers in the city are already dejected. “Though we are aware of the situation, we wanted to make the occasion count by celebrating the new year in a grand manner, by taking necessary precautions. All of our plans have gone in vain,” lamented a final-year engineering student from Chaitanya Bharati Institute of Technology (CBIT), who planned to celebrate NYE in a city pub with his friends.
