Gangtok, Feb 26: The Gangtok Traffic Police has inducted two hi-tech drones to strengthen traffic management and enhance public safety in the state capital, officials said on Thursday, February 26.
According to an official statement, the move marks a significant step towards modernising traffic regulation and surveillance in Gangtok. The drones will facilitate real-time monitoring of traffic flow, particularly in congested areas and residential colonies where improperly parked vehicles often obstruct roads.
Officials said the aerial systems will also help identify traffic bottlenecks that delay emergency services such as ambulances and fire tenders, enabling quicker intervention.
During major public gatherings, festivals and large-scale events, the drones will assist in crowd management, improve coordination among personnel and ensure a faster response to emerging situations.
The traffic police expressed hope that the integration of drone technology will enhance road monitoring efficiency and ensure safer and smoother movement across the city.
