Haryana police put on a show, demonstrating the drone-based contactless law and order management system, which could be a revolutionary step towards the future of policing, at a programme organised at Madhuban on Saturday. Two law and order companies and three Vajra vehicles participated in the demonstration, showcasing their successful application. The demonstration highlighted capabilities such as crowd management, monitoring of sensitive areas, and real-time data transmission.
Director General of Police Shatrujeet Kapur said complex tasks can now be performed in a simpler and more effective way using technology — which not only enhances the capacity of the police in dealing with large agitations and protests — but also helps in maintaining law and order with peace and restraint.
Referring to the farmers' protest that continued for almost 13 months last year, he said the police maintained law and order with minimum use of force during the entire period, since those participating in the agitation were also the country's citizens, adding that during such situations, the drone tech proved to be successful.
The DGP said, "Today's demonstration at Madhuban Parade Ground was completely successful."
Panchkula Police Commissioner Sibash Kabiraj said in today's era, smart and contactless systems are the future for crowd control, monitoring of sensitive areas, and maintaining public order. Through this system, the police force will be able to effectively control law and order without direct intervention in crowds.
Kabiraj said that under contactless management, drones, hi-tech cameras, artificial intelligence, and advanced software will be used. The police will not only be able to manage crowds but will also be able to identify sensitive situations in time and take prompt action, he said.
Officials at the event also shared that police officers and personnel will be given special training on the new system so that it can be implemented across the state in the future.
