The Punjab government has banned the use of drones, remote-controlled model aircrafts, flying cameras, quadcopters, helicams and balloons for all types of media coverage and sports activities with immediate effect.
Last year, the Islamabad city administration imposed a two-month ban on the flying and operating of all unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Fatima Jinnah Park (F-9) due to security reasons. The Capital Development Authority (CDA) issued the prohibition order on the complaint of Pakistan Air Force (PAF).
“These drones can be used by miscreants to conduct terrorist acts in areas that have been secured and safeguarded against ground attacks,” the complaint read.
