SRINAGAR: Security Forces on Thursday conducted a successful trial of drones in Srinagar to keep the City under aerial surveillance while massive frisking operations are going on ahead of the Independence Day.
At least 10 high-end drones will be used in and around the main venue for the I-Day celebrations to be held at the Sher-i-Kashmir stadium in Srinagar’s Sonwar. Police said the drones were tested within the 2-kilometre radius of the Lal Chowk that is the commercial hub of Srinagar.
A police team from police station Kothibagh along with experts tested the drones at Pratap Park near Lal Chowk. The police team was led by SP headquarters, Mohammad Arif Shah. Aerial surveillance helps keep a close watch on the suspects.
It also helps to further strengthen the multi-layer security cover that is put in place, said a police officer.
