New Delhi: The Delhi government’s ambitious project of using drones for surveillance of its forests may take at least about six months to materialise.
According to government sources, among a number of clearances required from multiple agencies — including the Ministry of Defence and Director General of Civil Aviation —- to make the proposal a reality, finding persons with the expertise and technical know-how to man these drones will be the most challenging.
“We will need at least eight staff members who have the necessary diploma, training in Geo-spatial Information Science (GIS), who may have conducted surveys or have the knowledge of remote-sensing technology. Persons with such expertise will also expect a high pay. In all probability, they will have to be contractual employees,” a senior government functionary said.
