Varanasi, 6 Dec

(HS): Varanasi district

police have increased monitoring for the fourth edition of the Kashi Tamil

Sangamam by deploying a sophisticated fleet of new-generation drones. According to Saravanan Thangamani, Deputy

Commissioner of Police, Varanasi Commissionerate, a special 10-member drone

team is assuring the safety and protection of visitors to the event. We are utilizing cutting-edge drone

technology. Drones were used last year,

but only in limited quantities. We are

employing three sorts of drones: tiny drones, micro drones, and nano drones, he

stated. He emphasized the importance of

the drone fleet, saying the Mini Drone is unique in that it can be

self-charged, allowing for round-the-clock operations unlike other

battery-dependent types. He said that

this drone is capable of running 24 hours a day, seven days a week to maintain

ongoing observation in a region.

Officials

stated the Macro Drone can monitor a broad 2 kilometer region. It can

cover a larger area and will be used in the jungle behind the NaMo Ghat,

explained Saravanan, who is also the Nodal Officer for the Kashi Tamil Sangamam

event. Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, launched Kashi

Tamil Sangamam 4.0 at NaMo Ghat on December 2. The third type of drone is

Nano Drones, which may capture photographs of suspicious activity. He

gave an example: if a car is parked in an area for an abnormally lengthy time,

this drone scans it and sends the image to the authorities. We take action

based on the photos it shares. Saravanan stated that the surveillance

data produced by the three drones (small, micro, and nano) is instantly shared

with senior police officers to take appropriate action.
