Hyderabad: As a precautionary measure in view of the arrest of five terror suspects of ISIS by the NIA, the Hyderabad police has banned the flying of drones, para-gliders and remotely controlled Micro-Light Aircraft in the Hyderabad City Police limits.

City police Commissioner M Mahender Reddy stated that inputs have been received from Intelligence agencies about the possibility of attacks by terrorists/anti-social elements using para-gliders, drones, Micro-Light Aircraft etc.

The Commissioner said there has been a significant increase in the use of drones by event organisers for getting an aerial view of ‘live events’ and photographing them. He said there was a need to check the activities of anti-social elements and prevent attacks from remote-controlled devices.

No non-government agency, organisation or individual will be allowed to launch an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), Unmanned Aerial Survey (UAS) etc, he said and warned that any person contravening this order shall be punishable under Section 188 IPC. The order will be in force from July 8 to August 7, he added.
