During the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other VVIPs to Odisha, the state government has announced restrictions on the use of drones. In an effort to ensure the safety of the VVIPs, the venue of their public functions will be considered a "no drone zone and no flying zone".
This decision was made after it was observed that during the VVIP's previous visit, some media personnel were using drones to capture footage of the VVIP during public meetings, rallies, and road shows. This posed a potential threat to the VVIP's security.
On May 6, the Prime Minister addressed the party's Vijay Sanklap Samavesh in Berhampur and Nabarangpur, two of the parliamentary constituencies that will go to polls along with Kalahandi and Koraput Lok Sabha seats and 28 Assembly seats on May 13.
The Director of Intelligence for Odisha has instructed the District Collectors and DMs of the concerned districts to declare all places visited by the VVIPs as "No drone zone/no flying zone". Proper signage will be displayed at all venues as a security measure. Furthermore, the use of drones by media personnel, organisers, and event management teams will be strictly prohibited near the vicinity of the VVIP.
This decision is of great importance as Prime Minister Modi is expected to visit Odisha again on May 10. During this two-day visit, he will participate in a road show at Bhubaneswar on May 10 and address public meetings at Kandhamal, Baragarh, and Bolangir on May 11.
The Director of Intelligence has also directed the DCP of Bhubaneswar and the SSPs of Kandhamal, Baragarh, and Bolangir to take necessary measures to restrict the use of drones near the VVIP's vicinity during their visit and to take action against any violations. This is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety and security of the VVIP during their visit to Odisha.
