The Bengal state government said, Night curfew will not be imposed in West Bengal on New Year's eve as the situation is not that adverse. The state government, however, will take all precautionary measures to prevent gatherings on the occasion,  a senior official has said

The current situation is not favorable to imposing a night curfew, Chief Secretary Alapan Bandyopadhyay said. ''New Year celebrations are organised at a few places in West Bengal. If people follow the COVID-19 safety protocols and cooperate with the police and administration, gatherings can be avoided,'' he said on Wednesday.

The Ministry of Home Affairs has allowed states and union territories to impose local restrictions such as night curfew, if necessary, to prevent the spread of COVID-19. With a UK returnee testing positive for the mutant coronavirus strain in Kolkata, the chief secretary cautioned people and urged them to wear masks and maintain physical distancing.

''People must cooperate with the administration and the police. There will be special assistance booths at places like Park Street and Victoria Memorial where a large turnout is expected,'' he said. The Kolkata Police has taken measures to ensure that all COVID-19 safety protocols are adhered to and large gatherings on New Year's eve are prevented.
