Rajouri, June 30 (KNS): Days after drone attack on the technical area of Jammu airport and spotting of drones for four consecutive days near security installations in several areas of Jammu, the authorities in Rajouri district have imposed ban on the use and sale of drones in the district.

An order issued in this regard, a copy of which lies with Kashmir News Service (KNS), states that it has been observed that the anti-national elements are using drones and other flying objects to cause damage, injury and risk to the human lives in certain parts of the Union Territory. 

"In the current situation to avoid any confusion and to secure aerial space near the vital installation and highly populated areas, it is rationale and expedient to discontinue the use of any drones/small flying toys/ objects in social and cultural gathering to eliminate any risk of injury to the life and property," reads the order.

It further reads that, however, those having already drone cameras/ flying objects or toys or like objects in their possession shall get the same deposited with the local police station against proper receipt. (KNS)
