Drone Menace Along Border With Pakistan Will End In 6 Months: Official

NEW DELHI, Jan 2: According to a senior government official, the use of drones to smuggle weapons and drugs into Indian territory from across the border will end in the next six months because an indigenous anti-drone technology is being developed to stop all such misadventures by the anti-national elements. Up to three distinct designs of anti-drone technology are being developed by security agencies; the final product may combine any or all of the designs. "In the next six months, the threat of using drones to smuggle weapons and drugs across the border will end. Without a doubt, anti-drone technology will be installed by then, the official stated.The new technology is still undergoing trials and is nearing finalisation. For a number of years now, security agencies have faced a significant challenge due to the dropping of weapons, ammunition, and drugs from Pakistan into Punjab and Jammu and Kashmir via drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). In August, the government announced that during the previous three years, 53 instances of drone smuggling of weapons and drugs from Punjab across the border had been found.The government has taken several measures to curb the threat, such as having the BSF effectively control the borders around-the-clock, monitoring, patrolling, installing nakas, and staffing observation posts along the international border. The Ministry of Home Affairs established the Anti Rogue Drone Technology Committee in March of last year, under the direction of the director general of the Border Security Force. The committee's task is to assess the technology available to combat rogue drones and certify that it is effective in combating these uncontrolled aerial vehicles. Nisith Pramanik, the Union Minister of State for Home, made this announcement.

Srinagar, Jan 2: Divisional Commissioner for Kashmir Vijay Kumar Bhiduri asked people on Tuesday not to incite panic by swarming petrol stations with cars and bottles, saying that the Valley had nearly a month's worth of petrol, diesel, kerosene and LPG in stock. According to the Divisional Commissioner, there is no shortage of petrol, kerosene or LPG, so people swarming the petrol pumps with cars and petrol bottles will cause panic. "We have nearly a month's worth of supplies of petrol, diesel and LPG in Kashmir," Bhiduri declared. He advised people to maintain their composure rather than panic. The strike by transporters won't have an impact on Kashmir. The Transporters are having parleys. The Divisional Commissioner stated, "The divisional administration in Kashmir is dedicated to making sure the people shouldn't experience any shortages of necessities, including petrol and LPG during the winter.

Jammu, Jan 2: People in Jammu are suffering as a result of multiple petrol stations going dry due to the transporters' walkout against a new Central government law regarding hit-and-run incidents.

"Every citizen should be subject to the law. Why, in hit-and-run incidents, are only commercial vehicle drivers subject to severe penalties and hefty fines? asked the leader of the transporters union. He suggested that the government change the law in response to a request.
