In Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru, there will be no New Year's Eve celebrations.

Restrictive restrictions have been put in place amid the worry of Omicron, thus metro cities Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Bengaluru will ring in the new year with zero to muted celebrations. 

Omicron is the most recent version of SARS-CoV-2, and it is spreading faster than Delta, while its effects are not as severe. India's Omicron tally has surpassed 800 in less than a month since the first cases were discovered.
