Centre Frames Extensive Guidelines to Prevent Aerial Terror

New Delhi: In the wake of security threat owing to unregulated flight of micro-light aircraft, powered hang gliders, hot air balloons and para gliders, the government is formulating a Standard Operating Procedures (SoP) to ensure a safe airspace in the country.

Most of these flights, part of adventure sports across the country, could be used as guided terror vehicle to target key installations, said a top security official.
