Jalandhar DC issues helpline no. in case of drone sighting; shares DOs & DONTs if hearing unusual sound

Jalandhar District Administration has issued a new public advisory, in which it has cautioned the public to remain alert in light of recent drone-related security protocols. Jalandhar DC Himanshu Aggarwal shared a public advisory in case the people of Jalandhar spot any drone or hear unusual sounds. Not only this, but the district administration also issued a public helpline number to report any such drone-related incident. The public advisory comes after Pakistan has tried to violate the understanding with New Delhi for a ceasefire. Pakistan is continuously trying to invade Punjab by sending its drones. However, the impeccable Indian Air Defence system has successfully thwarted them. 

According to the advisory issued by Jalandhar DC, if any individual notices a drone flying at night or hears any suspicious sound associated with drone activity, they must immediately report the incident to the nearest police station or contact the control room at 0181-2224417 or dial 112.

DOs and DONTs during suspicious drone activity

The Deputy Commissioner of Jalandhar has appealed to the public to strictly follow these instructions in the interest of public safety and national security.
