As India continues to tackle the ongoing crisis during the coronavirus lockdown, the police have deployed drones for surveillance and effective implementation of the curfew in western India.

The incident took place in Patan, Gujarat on April 03.

The video shows police personnel monitoring various localities using drones surveillance.

Some authorities can be seen spraying disinfectants on streets and buildings using a water tender filled with sanitizing solution.

Remotely piloted devices, drones are naturally effective at minimizing human interactions, which is crucial when the same officers meant to safeguard the communities can potentially become vectors for the virus to spread.

The aerial surveillance had come in handy for the police to monitor the movement of vehicles and people on arterial and interior roads and remote areas.

Based on inputs, police teams are sent to specific spots to restore order.

Drones can be used for spraying disinfectants in public spaces.

Officials claim that drones disinfect 50 times more area than traditional methods in a given time and at the same time keeps human operators out of harm's way.
