CP extends New Year wishes to citizens

Cyberabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar extended his wishes of a happy, safe and healthy New Year 2021 to citizens here on Wednesday.

With just a day more for the year to end, Sajjanar said: “We all know we are fighting Covid-19, and during these pandemic times, it is important that we first think about our safety. Let’s not celebrate New Year by organising social gatherings,” he said.

He requested citizens to welcome the New Year with family and near and dear ones by staying at home instead.

As a matter of convention, every year on the night December 31, the Commissioner usually celebrates the new year with police personnel by cutting a cake at the Cyber Towers junction and other places. However, this year, no such celebrations are being held.
