The drones will help the security forces in Srinagar's downtown area where continuous surveillance becomes difficult due to traffic jams. The security forces have already been using these drones during encounters to track the movement of terrorists. Jammu and Kashmir Police says the surveillance is happening in the public areas only to ensure privacy of people.

"Our aerial surveillance teams are keeping a watch looking for criminals, absconders etc., using high-resolution cameras. The surveillance is in public areas only, so as to ensure privacy," said Srinagar Police in a Tweet.

Jammu and Kashmir Police would be monitoring the footage taken by these drone cameras in real time from a central control room.
