Srinagar administration has imposed restrictions on the use, possession and sale of drones with those in possession of UAVs asked to handover at police stations.
According to a July 3 order issued by the office of district magistrate Mohammad Aijaz, those having drone cameras or other similar unmanned aerial vehicles must deposit them with police.
The order adds that “with a view to secure the aerial space near the vital installations and highly populated areas, it is imperative to discontinue the use of drones in all social and cultural gatherings to eliminate any risk of injury to the life and damage of property”.
Government departments using drones for survey and surveillance activities in agricultural, environmental conservation and disaster mitigation sectors have been asked to inform the local police station before using them.
The order further stated that persons already having the drone cameras, similar kinds of unmanned aerial vehicles in their possession shall ground the same in the local police station under proper receipt.
The order also reads that any violation of this order shall attract punitive action as warranted under relevant laws.
