Youngsters burst firecrackers and danced to the popular numbers to welcome the New Year. Despite police restrictions, they were seen roaming around on the bikes with many of them riding triple in violation of traffic rules.
"Happy New Year" rent the air as the revellers greeted each other on roads, hotels, clubs, malls and other venues of the New Year parties.
