DGCA marks Puri temple as ‘red’ zone to ensure security

The Puri Jagannath Temple has been declared a ‘red zone’ by the DGCA for enhanced security, restricting flights and UAVs up to 50,000 meters for three years. This move follows a police request after a drone was spotted over the shrine. While India-registered drones avoid red zones, some foreign-made ones do not, prompting authorities to install anti-drone technology.
