The New Year vibe is everywhere as we are just a day away from party mode. The party-hearty are going to fan across streets, congregate at hotels, bars, pubs, homes and of course in public spaces to bring in the New Year in a way they think best.

The party must go on but safety, not just your own but that of others too, has to be on top of the celebratory pyramid. Public facilities must have adequate security on their premises to ensure a safe party space is created for all  patrons. Have an announcement system that works well. Designate staffers who will be in charge of announcements and information with absolute clarity about roles, who does what, who says what and everybody is on the same page.
