Authorities in Chennai have imposed a temporary ban on drone flights over the Guindy and Meenambakkam areas as part of heightened security preparations ahead of the visit of Narendra Modi.
The restriction has been put in place to ensure public safety and maintain strict aerial security during the Prime Minister’s upcoming event in the city. Residents and drone operators in the specified zones have been advised not to fly unmanned aerial vehicles until further notice.
Officials said that measures like the drone ban are standard protocol when high-profile dignitaries visit, aimed at preventing any potential security risks. Violations of the ban are likely to attract legal action, they added.
The move underscores the comprehensive security arrangements underway as authorities prepare for the Prime Minister’s visit, which is expected to draw large crowds and significant political attention.
