An order issued by District Magistrate Vinay Pratap Singh stated that the entire city will be “no-flying zone” for UAVs from May 3, 4 and 8 in view of emerging threats due to recent trends of carrying out terrorist attacks by using drones fitted with improvised explosive device by anti-national elements and keeping in view of the security of VVIPs and general public.
Any breach of this order would invite action under Section 188 of the IPC and other relevant laws.
