There are many reasons why Chandrababu Naidu is regarded as one of the visionary leaders in Indian politics, and he keeps proving this multiple times. He is doing the same with the operational usage of drones in the state now.

Andhra Pradesh has been one of the leading states in India when it comes to usage of drones for agricultural, research & development, and police surveillance purposes.

Now there is an interesting observation regarding usage of drones, and this has something to do with public awareness.

Vijayawada Police have started to deploy Matrice 4 Drones across the city to spread public awareness on drugs usage, and peddling. This has become a very interesting point of discussion.

The police have started to use these drones to communicate to the public that they would be providing ₹5000 assistance to those who provide information on drug peddlers. Another ₹1500 will be provided for those who provide information on drug users.

The details of the informant will become completely confidential by the police department and understandable so as well. So this is going to be one of the leading social awareness projects in Andhra Pradesh.

The government of Andhra Pradesh had been very particular against the drug consumption patterns in the state, and they have now deployed drones for this job.
