Rotary Chandigarh Midtown assisting Chandigarh Police with Robotic Techniques

Our Club in association with Indian Robotic Company, Delhi assisted Chandigarh

police in using Drone Thermal Temperature testing, Drone Sanitizing and making

announcements through Drone. After the demonstration these Drone techniques

were practically brought in action in Bapu Dham Colony, Chandigarh, the biggest

containment area and the most infected zone. The drone captured the data of the

most vulnerable area and that area was also sensitized.

DIG Omvir Bishnoi, SSP Shashank Anand, SSP Nilambari Jagbale, SP Vineet

Kumar, technical team of Indian Robotics, President Salil Bali and Vinod Nagpal

of our RCC for Special Persons participated in this action.

The club also handed

police force for

installation at the

appropriate locations

in the city.

appreciated these

innovative and much

needed step.
