All the precautions have been taken for Istanbulites to enjoy the New Year's Eve in safety and peace, Istanbul Governorate have stated.

According to the statement released by the Governorate, all the safety and security measures have been taken in areas which will attract the most people due to celebrations on New Year's Eve, including shopping centers, bus stations, squares which will host special events, and entertainment districts.


Besides being a huge night for Istanbulites, New Year's Eve will also be a hard night for the security forces. Nearly 15,000 police will be working across the city during the celebrations.

Additional traffic police will also be working to ensure a smooth flow of traffic and minimize congestion.
