The middle lane of BRTS Road between Maddilapalem Junction to Rama Talkies and Underpass near RTC Complex will also remain closed. The police said that the Telugu Thalli flyover would remain closed for vehicles during the same period.
The police said that the decision was taken as Beach Road is expected to witness heavy crowd on the New Year eve.
“Strict action will be taken against those who harass women on the pretext of extending New Year greetings or by using obscene and abusive language. Criminal cases will be registered and such offenders will be arrested,” Police Commissioner Shankhabrata Bagchi said.
