Delhi police deploy counter-drone technology in sensitive areas for Independence Day

The country is celebrating 'Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav', marking the 75th year of Independence, amid patriotic fervour.

New Delhi: Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana has said that tight security arrangements have been made in the national capital for the country’s 75th Independence Day on Sunday (August 15) and counter-drone technology has been deployed in sensitive areas in the national capital to thwart any untoward incident. Asthana, who took over as Delhi Police Commissioner last month, told ANI in an interview that they have been talking to farmer leaders and Delhi borders have been sealed to make sure that past incidents are not repeated. He said security arrangements for Independence Day have been done as in the past and steps have also been taken keeping in mind the different nature of threats this year.
