The Ahmedabad police commissioner G S Malik issued a notification designating the city a “no-drone zone” during the India-Pakistan World Cup cricket match on October 14.
This notification bans the operation of drones, quadcopters, powered aircraft, microlight aircraft, hang gliders, paragliders, paramotors, hot air balloons, and parachuting on October 14, due to the high-profile nature of the World Cup match between the two countries.
The notification emphasizes concerns that terrorist organizations or antisocial elements could pose threats to cricketers, dignitaries and spectators by using small aircraft or drones. As a precaution, all drone-flying and related activities are banned.
