Web Desk: The Punjab government has decided to establish anti-drone units in all districts of the province to disable “unauthorised drones operated by enemies of Pakistan or miscreants using advanced jamming technology.”
In a statement, the provincial Home Department said the units will conduct aerial surveillance using specialised drone fleets to monitor district airspace.
According to the Punjab Home Department, each anti-drone unit and its associated systems will operate under the leadership of the District Police Officer (DPO) of the respective district.
“The systems are designed to disable unauthorised drones operated by miscreants or enemies using advanced jamming technology,” a home department spokesperson said.
The spokesperson added that Section 144 is currently in force across Punjab, prohibiting the flying of outdoor drones. The Punjab government had imposed the ban on public drone usage due to ongoing security concerns.
