Chandigarh to get UAV for police work

May 01-15, 2011

Chandigarh Police has become the first police force in the country to acquire an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for law enforcement. “We have procured the UAV for four months on trial basis. Golden Hawk will be with the city police by mid-May 2011. DRDO officials have already demonstrated the machine at Sarangpur village on the city’s outskirts recently,” Chandigarh IG P.K. Srivastava has said.

“Depending on its success, bigger UAVs will be procured later on for surveillance purposes,” Srivastava said. “We are the first urban police force to have an UAV,” he said, adding that the machine would be of immense help during demonstrations and VVIPs’ visit.
