Since the attack in June, the Border Security Force and Central Industry Security Force have been tasked with procuring anti-drone systems for the nearly 3500 km-long International Border and also for civilian airports. Today, the Ministry of Civil Aviation issued draft rules to ensure ease of using drones in India on the basis of “trust, self-certification and non-intrusive monitoring". The Drone Rules, 2021 will replace the UAS Rules, 2021, which came into force on March 12 this year.
