Why ban flying objects in Mumbai?
The city will witness campaigns and rallies of prominent leaders for the maharashtra assembly elections to be held on november 20 and the anniversary of the 26/11 mumbai terror attack. The order states that terrorists and anti-social elements can use drones, remote-controlled microlight aircraft and paragliders to target VVIPs in their attacks, endanger the lives of people and destroy public property in the mumbai police Commissionerate area. In such a situation, some restrictions are necessary to prevent possible sabotage through flying objects.
