For the first time, the streets of Gurgaon were also quiet in the new year and not a single traffic jam incident or unwanted activity was reported, in accordance with the Gurgaon Police.
“There were 8 checkpoints and no traffic congestion reported on the night of Friday and Saturday intervention considering it was also a curfew.
But we are more vigilant and maintain drunk driving incidents.
However, there are no incidents reported and everything is peaceful,” DCP traffic said , Ravinder Singh Tomar.
With the evenings at night applied by the Haryana government starting at 11pm to 5 in the morning, the club in the city was closed at 10:30 a.m.
Most people this year decided to celebrate at home rather than try and get out late at night.
“Initially, we had planned to visit the club in the 29 sector but the thought was that they would close as early as 11 morning disappointing.
So, my friends and I decided to celebrate at home,” said Ronak, a resident of sector 57.
