New Delhi: The Aviation Ministry announced a scheme on Monday asking operators to voluntarily register their drones by January 31. The ministry said that those who fail to register will face action under the Indian Penal Code and Aircraft Act.
The ministry said in a notification, "The presence of such drones as well as drone operators has come to the notice of the government which do not comply with the CAR (civil aviation requirements). In order to facilitate the identification of civil drones and drone operators, a one-time opportunity for voluntary disclosure of such drones and drone operators is being provided... All persons in possession of drones are required to complete the process (of online registration) by January 31, 2020."
This notification comes days after top Iranian commander General Qassem Soleimani was killed in a US drone attack. He was leaving the Baghdad airport when the US military fired missiles, killing him on January 3.
A senior Indian government official said that the attack "precipitated the government to take action to regulate hundreds of non-compliant drones" that are operating in the country. "What happened at Gatwick airport in December 2018 was already there on our mind," the official said to PTI.
