Delhi Police took a creative and humorous approach with a party-themed advisory targeting drunk drivers and rowdies on New Year’s Eve. His post on X had a sarcastic tone, warning against bad behavior.

“Delhi Police wishes hooligans a Happy New Year 2025! We are having a cell lock party,” the post announced. The caption adds: “Who needs a countdown when you can count the days until your launch.”

Delhi Police added a humorous twist to their advisory by describing the ‘opening act’ as a breathalyzer to catch drunk drivers, followed by acts like ‘DJ Buckle Up’, ‘DJ Safety First’ and the band ‘ Defensive Drivers”. The notice also included a “VIP Lounge for Everyone”, which offered a lounge area with cold cell bars and hot beats.

They creatively highlighted the transportation options in “SUVs with special red and blue beacons” and cinematography managed by speed cameras. Adding to the sarcasm, the post read: “If you find someone who needs to party, just dial 112 and let the good times roll,” with the location being the “nearest police station.”

Following Delhi Police’s lead, Assam and Kolkata Police also posted similar messages to discourage drunken driving. Kolkata Police shared a party-themed banner promising a “special performance by DJ Traffic Cops, Kolkata”. His message humorously stated, “Free entry for rash drivers, drunk drivers, traffic signal violators, helmetless cyclists and other eligible offenders. Time and place: Kolkata Police Area. TRY NOT TO BE OUR GUESTS.” “

Assam Police encouraged people to “take in the New Year safely” by sharing funny quotes inspired by Bollywood movie titles. These include, “Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Par Drunk Driver Nahi!”, “Andaz Apna Ana Lekin Safety Sabki Sabki” and “Dil Chahta Hai, but not the law. Drive sober.”

Meanwhile, in a unique move, the Noida police announced plans to arrange taxis for drunk drivers to ensure they reach home safely. Reports say police will have hired taxis ready for the night, with officers stationed at counters in shopping centres, pubs and restaurants to prevent drunken people from driving cars or bikes.

Garden Galleria Mall, a popular destination, will see a deployment of 300 police officers on all floors. In addition, parking for around 7,000 vehicles has been planned, according to reports.
