Mumbai police to get 24 unmanned aerial vehicles

Mumbai police is all set to become first police force in the country to have two dozen unmanned aerial vehicles ,In a Government Resolution issued on February 14, the state government has listed 24 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) among the articles, including arms and ammunitions, that Mumbai police is procuring to fight terrorists.

The procurement is being carried out through a State-Centre joint funding programme. While Centre will contribute 75 per cent to the 109.13 crore fund, the state government will pool in the rest.Mumbai police will get under this programme are — 950 AK-47 rifles , 250 MP5, MP4 and MP9 guns , 500 bullet-proof jackets, 100 static and portable X-ray baggage scanners, bomb detection and disposal equipment and 100 new cars.

The rest of the state will also get weapons like Glock pistols, sniper rifles, grenade launchers, rocket launchers, INSAS guns and self-loading rifles.

Due to larger threat level to Mumbai city and also due to 26/11 attacks, Mumbai police for obvious reasons, tops the list of priorities so far as modernisation of police force is concerned.

Exactly, these idiots haven't learned . Haven't they realized once a particular city becomes fortified, then these terrorists and criminals will look towards 2nd or 3rd tier cities to exploit the weak, understaffed, underarmed, security forces....wtf!

This should have been not yesterday but 10 years ago. We should;t be congratulating them, we should be scolding them. It seems Indians have been conditioned to think corruption is fine and the fact that bureaucracy is slow as a snail is okay, nothing to complain about.

Unmanned Ariel vehicles can be very useful, especially in big cities, we can have that in Karachi

For whom? Karachi has LTTE threat?

 

[shaktiman2010]

hope this happens for other cities as well...or atleast for all the major cities...like delhi,bangaluru,kolkata,Chennai,hyderabad and guwahati.

 

[blackops]

well i have got no worries nothing can happen in my city if these guys even try to do something they will be dead in no time

 

[angeldemon_007]

Good step, now next move should be to provide the city police with a couple of helicopters like Dhruv.

I think Delhi already has uav cover. Does anybody has any information about Delhi ??/
