Ahead of the Assembly elections, Ulhasnagar police are using drone cameras to monitor the city for suspicious activities. A police officer said, “The Thane police, during routine nakabandi and other operations, would use drones to observe suspicious movements. We have hired drone operators and will deploy drones as needed.”

On November 6, the first round of drone monitoring was conducted in areas such as Birla Gate, Shahad Bridge, and Shahad Naka. “The primary goal of using drone cameras is to monitor crowded areas and roads with significant traffic. The drones will aid in tracking any suspicious movements,” said DCP Zone 4 Sachin Gore.
