Visakhapatnam rural police has cautioned people against use of drones at any public places without obtaining permission. The police warned of severe action against the owners if caught flying drones without permission.
Superintendent of Police (Visakhapatnam Rural) Attada Babujee said that with the elections just a couple of weeks ahead, number of political leaders have been arriving and leaving in helicopters to take part in political campaigns. He said that in those programmes, in order to take pictures and videos, a few have been using drones, which is totally unauthorised.
“In these circumstances, without prior permission, use of drones is not just unauthorised, but also risky. Strict action will be taken on people or even party representatives found using drones,” said Mr. Babujee.
The SP also said that in this regard, the users should take prior permission from police or the sub-divisional officer.
