Bengaluru authorities are deploying 20,000 police personnel for New Year's Eve celebrations, anticipating over 10 lakh revellers. This marks an increase from last year's estimated 7-8 lakh attendees. Key hotspots like MG Road, Brigade Road, Koramangala, and Indiranagar will see heightened security. Measures include AI-powered facial recognition, drone surveillance, and enhanced focus on women's safety. Bars and restaurants must adhere to strict time limits, with a 1 am deadline for serving liquor.
