CM Sarbananda Sonowal unveils anti-depredation quick response vehicle

GUWAHATI: In a move to intensify surveillance and rein in man-animal conflict by the State Forest Department, Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal unveiled a Surveillance Quadcopter (Drone) and an anti-depredation quick response vehicle at a programme held at the conference hall of chief minister's block in Janata Bhawan here on Friday.

It may be noted that with the inauguration of the vehicle an intensified 24x7 surveillance would be made possible over the forest cover of the state helping to rein in the increasing incidents of man-animal conflict. This surveillance drone would be able to narrow-cast any purported movement of the poachers and would delve a blow to poaching in the national parks, wild life sanctuaries and other reserve forests. Under this new initiative, the Forest Department introduces three numbers of Special Surveillance Quadcopter and an Antidepradation Quick Response Vehicle in the State, stated a release.
