Click to play videoBangalore: It's that time of the year again, the New Year is beckoning and spirits are on the way up. But for the ever vigilant Bangalore Police, the curfew begins at 11:30 pm everyday.
So where do young guys head to? Especially since the night is still very young.
An IT engineer Darshan says, "I think this 11:30 deadline is unfair. It's intruding our privacy. We like to go party at the outskirts and there is more freedom there. No cops to interfere."
For these youngsters, it's an adrenaline rush to head out of the already sleeping city to where the real action is these days — the outskirts .
A management professional, Guru says, "We are at the outskirts and having fun. There are no cops to stop us. It's holiday season, but they still tell us that we can't party in the city. Now they are saying that we can't even party at the outskirts of the city. Where do we go then?
The reason for this strictness is that last year, Bangalore Police registered a three times increase in accident cases and the highways are the hotspots.
Police say maximum accidents take place between 1 am and 4 am when youngsters head back into the city after partying hard.
DCP Central Division, Bangalore, BNS Reddy says, "The reasons for the accidents are drunken driving, losing concentration, rash driving and miscreants attacking others in deserted areas."
For the men in khaki, the festive season means staying awake and alert all the more.
"Stay indoors and party at someone's house," is Reddy's advice to youngsters.
With all the plush resorts that have sprung up on the highways, partying at home might just not be the thing to do, but just remember to play your cards wise and the road ahead will just be fine.
