The police directed them to install adequate CCTV systems in parking areas to monitor the movement of customers.

They further directed them not to crowd the place more than necessary and asked them to recruit adequate security personnel and volunteers.

They were asked to be vigilant of their customers so that they do not drink and drive and in that case, vehicles should be arranged for them to drop at their locations.
