Register drones by Jan 31 or face action: Aviation Min
The Aviation Ministry on Monday announced a scheme providing a window up to January 31 for voluntary registration of all drones and their operators, days after top Iranian General Qasem Soleimani was killed in a US drone attack.
Those who fail to register will face action under the Indian Penal Code and the Aircraft Act.
In a notice, the ministry said, “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,” it added.
