Responding to the allegations by Leader of Opposition on surveillance being done on him through drones, the CM today said there is no question of intruding into privacy of any individual.

“Drones are being used by Ms Suez India Pvt Ltd for collecting data for a World Bank-funded project for proper water supply in the state capital. The data collected by them will not be shared with anyone and is exclusively for laying of pipelines,” said the CM.

“Two days ago, the drone was hovering over Oak Over also as part of the survey so it is stated that there is no question of snooping or intruding into any individual’s privacy,” he added.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.
