The Sindh government has imposed a ban on aerial firing, fireworks, one-wheeling and riding motorcycles without silencers on the New Year’s eve.
Each year, hundreds of thousands of rounds of bullets are shot up into the air by celebrators to celebrate the beginning of New Year, which has taken many lives in the past year. Many citizens have also been injured from stray bullets after aerial firing.
Sea View and Five Star Chowrangi in North Nazimabad are the two popular spots for the youth to celebrate the new year in Karachi. Commissioner Karachi Iftikhar Shalwani appealed to the citizens to celebrate the occasion with decency and keeping in view their civic duties. K-Electric (KE) has also been advised to refrain from unnecessary power outages on the occasion.
