Andhra police mull drone use to check red sanders smuggling

The Andhra Pradesh police is mulling the use of drone cameras for enhanced surveillance in Seshachalam forests of Chittoor-Kadapa-Nellore region in its bid to tighten the noose around red sanders smugglers.

“We have not taken a decision on it. The suggestion has come from the Chief Minister. So, we are examining whether we should go for drone cameras or static balloon cameras,” said AP DGP <g data-gr-id="12">Jasti</g> Venkata Ramudu. He said the objective was to have a better surveillance and control the crime.

During a review meeting on law and order situation in the state recently, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu had proposed the idea of using drone cameras or static balloon cameras to keep a tight vigil on red sanders smugglers.
