Drones used by the Delhi police to review situations during anti-CAA stir protests
By MYBRANDBOOK
As people gathered to march against the amended citizenship law, from Red Fort in Old Delhi to Shaheed Park near ITO on Thursday, the Delhi police tried to keep a watch on the marching protesters by using a drone.
The police had denied permission to the left-backed AISA and the Swaraj Abhiyan to hold a march against the Citizenship Amendment Act from Red Fort, citing law and order issues.
A huge number of protesters were stopped at police barricades on Nishadraj Marg in Daryaganj, while trying to reach Red Fort. A drone hovered over them to record the happenings.
As they spotted the drone, the protesters broke into louder slogan shouting, cheering and clapping.
"Drones are used to record happenings and in case of massive law and order situation, where things go out of hand, the recordings help to identify those who cause a situation to go out of hand," a senior police officer said.
The protesters, mostly students and local residents, gathered near the Sunehri Masjid after the police stopped them from moving towards Red Fort. They complained that some political leaders were trying to hijack their protest.
Drones were also used by the police in Seelampur area that witnessed violence and arson on Tuesday, to identify "miscreants". Aerial surveillance was employed by Delhi Police in Mayur Vihar, and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh as well.
