Hyderabad police to expand drone wing after successful crowd surveillance

After successfully using drones to control sizable crowds and improve traffic, the Hyderabad Police plans to add more equipment and skilled officers to its dedicated “Drone Wing.”

At the moment, the force uses two drones to keep an eye on traffic and public gatherings throughout the city. During significant religious occasions like Hanuman Jayanti, Bonalu, Milad-un-Nabi, Ganesh Visarjan, and Muharram, these unmanned aerial vehicles have demonstrated exceptional efficacy. In order to find and follow possible troublemakers—especially those trying to hide in crowded areas or narrow lanes—the drones are also used during protest marches and rallies.

Drones allow for real-time surveillance and serve as a powerful deterrent. An official from the Hyderabad Police IT Cell stated, “Drones help in closely monitoring the gatherings and act as deterrence to trouble makers. If any one creates trouble and tries to escape, his movements can be tracked from air using a drone and help in apprehending them.“

The department placed six drones at key locations to keep an eye on crowd activity during the most recent Muharram procession. Two officers made up each drone team; one officer flew the drone while the other handled communications and logistics. The collected data was immediately sent to the officers in charge for prompt action.

Senior officials are planning for a major expansion of the drone unit as a result of the success of these deployments. After assessing the technology’s overall efficacy, more police officers will receive training in drone operation, and more drones will be purchased.

In order to enhance traffic monitoring and lessen congestion, particularly during peak hours or major public gatherings, the traffic police will also incorporate drones into their operations.
