Hyderabad Prepares to Ring in 2025 with Celebrations and Caution
In just a few hours, the world will welcome 2025, and Hyderabad is buzzing with excitement. Across the state, preparations are in full swing to celebrate the New Year with energy, hope, and joy. Many people are looking forward to a prosperous and healthy year ahead.
At the same time, the police are on high alert. Authorities are concerned about potential illegal activities, including drug use, at New Year parties. This year, several events are being organized away from the city’s usual noise and crowds, in quieter areas like farmhouses and resorts.
Farmhouses and resorts in Moinabad, Shankarpally, Medchal, Ghatkesar, Bhongir, and Shamshabad are fully booked. These venues are preparing for grand parties where alcohol will flow freely. Many partygoers, including influential individuals, are expected to attend. According to organizers, costs for such parties vary based on the number of guests and the duration of the event, with some fees exceeding ₹1 lakh per night.
To ensure safety, police in Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Rachakonda have issued strict guidelines. Minors are not allowed in pubs, bars, or events meant for couples. Drug use is strictly prohibited, and organizers have been instructed to monitor parking areas and other spots to prevent illegal activities. Organizers must also obtain prior permissions for their events. Police urged citizens to celebrate responsibly with family and friends, avoiding drugs and ensuring a peaceful New Year.
An owner of a popular nightclub in Jubilee Hills shared that they have doubled the number of bouncers this year, increasing from four to nine. Security checks have also been tightened to comply with police orders.
Meanwhile, the Telangana Four Wheelers Drivers’ Association has announced a special initiative to reduce drunk driving cases. They will provide free transportation in the Hyderabad, Cyberabad, and Rachakonda areas on New Year’s Eve. Around 500 cars and 250 bike taxi drivers will be available to help revelers get home safely.
With both celebrations and safety measures in place, Hyderabad is set to welcome the New Year in style, while ensuring it is a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
