Jalandhar: 31 Dec 20 Owing to night curfew restrictions imposed by the state government till December 31 in the ongoing pandemic, no New Year parties could be held tonight and celebrations largely remained confined to daytime get-togethers, luncheon outings, evening geris and selfies with friends and families. Residents said they were planning to buy cakes and purchase evening meals online from the eateries for the celebrations. To attract customers, city’s popular bakery Parveen Bakers and Confectioners organised a ‘live cake baking’ session in the day at Johal market. Several eateries offered discounts on combo meals for takeaway orders.Youngsters said that since there are no parties and with restrictions on outings after 10 pm, they would have to make for it by engaging in video calls with their friends and relatives.
