Hyderabad Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar has appealed to the people of the city, especially the youth and parents, not to hold birthday celebrations and cake cuttings at Tank Bund as well as main roads, ponds and parks at midnight.

He explained that a comprehensive review has been conducted in collaboration with various government departments to prevent accidents there. He clarified that birthdays are a personal celebration related to the family and should be celebrated only at home or in safe places.
