Whereas, a movement of V.V.I.P. is scheduled to U.T., Chandigarh from 16.10.2024 to 18.10.2024. Therefore, in view of emerging threats due to recent trends of carrying out terrorist attacks by using Drones fitted with Improvised Explosive Device by anti-national elements and keeping in view of the security of V.V.I.Ps and general public, it becomes imperative to declare the area of U.T., Chandigarh as “No Flying Zone” for Drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (U.A.V.s).

Now therefore, considering above, Vinay Pratap Singh, I.A.S., District Magistrate, U.T., Chandigarh, exercising the power conferred upon him under Section 163 of the Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, does hereby order that the whole of Union Territory, Chandigarh shall be “No Flying Zone” for the purpose of flying of Drones and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (U.A.V.s) from 16.10.2024 to 18.10.2024.

This order shall not be applicable on Law enforcement agencies including Police, Para-Military, Air Force, S.P.G. personnel and persons authorized by competent Govt. authority.
This order shall come into force from zero hours on 16.10.2024 and shall be effective up-to and including 18.10.2024.

In view of the emergent nature of this order, it is being issued ex-parte and is addressed to the public in general. Any breach of this order would invite action under section 223 of Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and other relevant provisions of Law.
