UP: Ghaziabad Police use drones to monitor COVID-19 hotspots

In a landmark first, the Supreme Court of India on Wednesday permitted passive euthanasia for a 31-year-old man from Ghaziabad who has been in a persistent vegetative state for over a decade, observing that continuing life-sustaining treatment would no longer be in the patient's best interest.

According to a statement issued by Tiruchirappalli District Collector V Saravanan, the restriction has been imposed as a security measure. The order prohibits the flying of drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles throughout the district for the entire day on March 11.

According to Chief Fire Officer (CFO) Rahul Kumar, the firemen have successfully extinguished the fire at the adjacent scrap warehouse, while efforts are underway to fully contain the blaze at the paint factory.

The Chief Minister was speaking after inaugurating the new building of the Panur Fire Station online. The service has all the latest equipment such as underwater drones, robo fire fighters, fire tenders, and advanced rescue tenders. A comprehensive change was made in the department after the 2018 floods.
