Karachi police have issued strict warnings ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations at Seaview beach. Authorities cautioned revellers against aerial firing and one-wheeling, saying offenders could face attempted murder charges.
The Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) of South district announced extensive security measures for the popular Seaview beach area. Over 2,400 officers and staff have been deployed to maintain law and order and ensure public safety during the celebrations.
“To maintain order, six police platoons will be stationed at Seaview beach and surrounding areas,” the SSP said. “A total of 2,451 personnel, including intelligence staff, are on duty. Hooliganism or aerial firing will not be tolerated.”
Security measures include 80 mobile units and 106 motorcycle patrols. Mounted police officers on horseback will also monitor the crowds, while intelligence teams remain vigilant to prevent any untoward incidents. Senior police officials will oversee operations throughout the night.
In addition, traffic management plans have been implemented to reduce congestion. Both tracks from Seaview McDonald’s to Khayaban-e-Ittehad have been converted into one-way routes to facilitate smooth vehicle movement.
The SSP emphasized that no unlawful activities will be allowed. Visitors to Seaview beach are advised to follow police instructions and prioritize safety during the New Year celebrations.
With these precautions, authorities aim to ensure a safe and peaceful environment at Seaview beach, allowing families and citizens to enjoy the festivities without disruptions.
