Jammu authorities have imposed a temporary ban on drones, paragliders, and remote-controlled aerial devices ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit on February 20. District Magistrate Sachin Kumar Vaishya issued the order under section 144 of the Criminal Procedure Code in response to intelligence reports indicating potential security threats. The ban, effective immediately until February 20, aims to mitigate risks posed by terrorist activities. Exceptions include aerial surveillance by security forces during VVIP visits or with specific written permission. Violators face punitive action under section 188 of the Indian Penal Code.
