The incident comes at a time when Uttar Pradesh witnesses the more strict implementation of increasing surveillance and drone arrangements following a directive of Prime Minister Yogi Adityanath.

At a high -level video conference at the beginning of this week, the Prime Minister instructed all regional magistrates and senior police officials to shorten the unauthorized drone operations due to worries about misdaational, public panic and abuse of drone technology.

According to the authorities, 17 furnaces and 29 arrests were made throughout the state for crimes related to drone in recent weeks, including the circulation of wrong videos and rumors.

Adityanath warned that any abuse of drones to spread fear or disinformation may have suffered serious accusations within the Gangster Law and even the National Security Law (NSA).

Prime Minister, “Technology should not be abused. Unauthorized use of drone will not be tolerated.” He said.

Ayodhya, Mathura, Muzaffarnagar, Meerut and Bijnor, including various regions, Shahjahanpur has published blanket bans on drone flights since then.
