Drones to enhance police operations in India

Illegal sand quarries are a major problem in some regions of India. Unregistered sand quarries rob local governments of tax revenue, leading police officials launch drones to stop the bandits. The Karimnagar Police Commissionerate recently deployed an eye-in-sky flying camera to uncover an illegal sand dump cleverly hidden by haystacks.

“We have extended the eagle eye surveillance on illegal sand dumps and transportation. The high-resolution pictures taken by the drone are very effective in finding such illegal activities,” Commissioner of Police VB Kamalasan Reddy told Hans India, an area news source. The sand dump is worth about 70 truckloads, officials said – a significant catch in an industry that transports nearly 700 loads in a day.
