Drones substitute cops in CM Chandrababu Naidu’s security cover
New Indian ExpressVIJAYAWADA: Following the directives of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, the security detail assigned to him has been significantly reduced. Despite having Z+ security coverage, Naidu instructed police officers not to deploy a large number of personnel during his field visits to avoid inconveniencing the public. During a recent visit to the Polavaram Irrigation Project site, Naidu observed the extensive security measures and recommended that the District Collector and Superintendent of Police consider deploying drones instead. Drones monitor CM’s house surroundings Naidu is said to have advised that except in sensitive areas, such as Agency regions and remote locations, there is no need for a heavy police presence. As a result, security officials have decided to use autonomous drones for surveillance around Naidu’s residence in Undavalli.
