Amid fear of the new COVID-19 variant spread and the police ensuring strict adherence to night curfew through strict vigil, the twin cities of Hubballi-Dharwad witnessed subdued New Year celebrations on Friday night.
As New Year parties were banned and no restaurants were allowed to hold music or cultural programmes as part of the celebrations, very few visited restaurants and those who did eventually returned well in advance before night curfew began.
However, many took away food parcels to celebrate the event at home and their friends’ places. In fact, in many apartment complexes, the New Year celebrations were organised without much fanfare and no loud music was played because of the ban.
