"Of course, we are not able to enjoy it in the same way we used to do it earlier. But this is important for our own lives, so we are happy with it," Gauri added.

Jyoti, another visitor in MG mall said, "We are not getting the same vibes of New Year celebrations as there is no crowd, no traffic jam, no event. But keeping in mind the current situation, it's for our own good only."

"Earlier, there used to be many events for New year celebrations, but nothing is happening this time. People are also following COVID-19 protocols," she added.
