Major tourism spots in Kozhikode city under watch
Imposing curbs on public gatherings and outdoor activities in the wake of the COVID-19 scare, the police have resumed their aerial surveillance using high-end drone cameras in different parts of Kozhikode district. Station House Officers from some of the rural police stations said the cameras would be used mainly to cover town areas and keep an eye on protocol violations. Such aerial surveillance measures taken last year at the time of the COVID outbreak were very effective to track violators with strong digital evidence, they said. Officials from the Thamarassery police station said they had already conducted multiple inspections to track violations within their station limits. Collected visuals from various spots would be examined in detail soon to identify violators and take legal action, they said.More Related News
