Overview
- The Punjab government will establish anti-drone units in every district under the supervision of District Police Officers.
- Each unit will pair specialised surveillance drone fleets with systems that detect and disable unauthorised drones using jamming technology.
- Authorities say equipment will be allocated to districts based on operational requirements and assessed security needs.
- Section 144 remains in force across Punjab, banning public outdoor drone flights while exempting law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
- The move follows a federal ban on drone operations after Pakistan‑Afghanistan border tensions and officials’ reports of foiled small‑drone attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
