Chennai, May 16 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Trichy district police have deployed drones for surveillance on whether people are coming out of their homes during the lockdown period. The drones will be in action in five divisions of Trichy district including, Lalgudi, Jeeyapuram, Musiri, Mannaparai and Thiruverumbur.
A senior police officer while speaking to IANS said, "We are deploying drones in the busy areas and as of now we will have one drone a day in one division. The drone facility will help us identify the violators and people are also aware that we are using drones, hence most will fall in line."
