Hyderabad Police to Use Drones for Aerial Monitoring in 2025

Hyderabad: The city police apart will initiate aerial monitoring of the city using a fleet of drones from next year. “We used to depend on CCTV camera footage to investigate untoward incidents. From next year, we will be constantly monitoring the twin cities by using drone cameras,” said city police commissioner C.V. Anand on Sunday.

“This will make it easier to monitor religious processions and political rallies,” he said. The decision was taken after the recent disturbances in the twin cities, including attacks on religious places.

It was reported that the city police had procured over a dozen advanced drones for the purpose.
