UP government has decided to provide drone cameras in 12 districts. Agra is the first one. SP Traffic Rajesh Kumar said around ₹10 lakhs are being spent to develop the infrastructural arrangements to operate the drone assisted system. It will now be possible to keep a watch on political processions.

The drone camera would be able to cover city areas, with a battery backup of 40 to 45 minutes.

A demonstration was given recently for the local officials from Paliwal Park to Agra Fort, at a height of around 400 metres, officials said.
