NEW DELHI: A draft policy on operating pilot-less low flying objects will come up next month to ensure security in country’s air space, Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrishi said today.
Mehrishi also said security forces should exercise maximum precautions while using China-made gadgets in sensitive installations.
“We are working on a draft Drone Act, which will focus on regulating the use of drones and similar low flying objects instead of putting a total ban. It should come out in public domain by September after which comments will be taken from stakeholders,” he said here.
Asked about action against “erring” NGOs, during his two-year tenure which comes to an end tomorrow, the Home Secretary said there is a law (Foreign Contribution Regulations Act), which has to be complied with by everyone.
“Merely because it was not looked into earlier, does not mean that those not following law can take foreign funding illegally,” he said. (AGENCIES)
