Ganesh Immersion To Be Monitored By Drone Cameras in Karimnagar
Hyderabad: Cyberabad Police Commissioner Stephen Raveendra on Tuesday issued a notice prohibiting flying drones in certain areas of Madhapur till June 17.
A notice said that the decision was taken in view of anti-social elements causing disruption.
“Based on the directive by the Centre and other security agencies, the Telangana Police has decided to ban drone activities. Anti-social elements may organize attacks using paragliders, remote-controlled drones, and microlight aircraft and so on,” the senior police officer stated in a press release.
The possibility of such attacks may endanger and breach peace to public tranquillity, the notice said. Between June 13 to June 17, drones will not be allowed to function within a five-kilometer radius of these hotels in Madhapur such as Convention Hall, HICC, Novotel Hotel, Trident Hotel, Westin Hotel, and ITC Kohinoor.
The Union Home Minister has alerted the states of the country in the wake of the Indo-Pak War. The Telangana government and police, which were immediately alerted, took preemptive measures. Security has been tightened in Hyderabad.
Thirty-two airports across northern and western parts of the country, including Srinagar and Amritsar, have been closed for civilian flight operations till May 15, according to the civil aviation regulator.
In view of the ongoing high alert across India and intensified security arrangements in Hyderabad and Secunderabad, the city police have issued a ban on bursting firecrackers or fireworks in public spaces, particularly near military cantonment areas.
India responded strongly to Pakistan’s repeated drone and missile attacks and hit at least eight military targets inside Pakistan on Friday night with precision, thereby causing significant damage, the Centre told the media, as part of a special briefing on ‘Operation Sindoor’.
