Delhi Police launch initiative to curb juvenile drug abuse
The program is a collaborative venture of the Delhi Police and key partners such as the Ladli Foundation Trust, IHBAS (Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences), and IACT.
Ahead of the Independence Day celebrations, the Delhi Police has prohibited the flying of sub-conventional aerial platforms like paragliders, hang-gliders and hot air balloons in the national capital from August 2 to August 16, keeping in mind the precautionary security measure in the national capital.
An order to this effect was issued by Delhi Police Commissioner Sanjay Arora on Thursday.
“It has been reported that certain criminal, anti-social elements or terrorists inimical to India may pose a threat to the safety of the general public, dignitaries and vital installations by the use of “sub-conventional aerial platforms like paragliders, paramotors, hang-gliders, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), remotely piloted aircraft, hot air balloons, small sized powered aircraft, or by para-jumping from aircrafts,” the order read.

“This order shall come into force with effect from Friday and shall remain in force for a period of 15 days up to August 16 (both days inclusive) unless withdrawn earlier,” the order stated.
