Despite heavy police presence on New Year's Eve in Sector 29, Gurugram, open drinking, illegal parking, and a lack of adequate lighting created safety concerns for attendees. Large crowds gathered at clubs and pubs, with some residents reporting feeling unsafe due to public intoxication and harassment. While police patrolled, they did not intervene in instances of open drinking. Club staff asserted their internal security measures, but external issues like poor lighting and parking congestion persisted, impacting the overall experience for visitors.
