Special traffic and security arrangements were put in place to prevent stunt-biking and facilitate people in offering prayers on the occasion of Shab-e-Barat on Thursday night.
Devotees offer prayers at mosques and visit the graves of their ancestors on Shab-e-Barat.
Strict vigilance
“Around 1,000 traffic policemen handled arrangements along with local police in different parts of the city, especially in the south-east, central and Lutyens’ Delhi areas,” said a senior traffic police officer.
The areas around India Gate were out of bounds for two-wheelers, with pickets to prevent stunt-biking by youngsters, said a police officer.
Preventive measure
“In the past, scores of accidents involving stunt-biking took place on Delhi roads. Traffic violations were also rampant,” said the officer.
