As many as 13 platoons of police force have been planned to be mobilised to enforce law and order at celebration joints like hotels, restaurants, clubs, guest houses and other places.
The measures aim at preventing untoward incidents like accidents due to drunken driving and criminal activities by criminal elements, said a police official.
