The Inspector General of Police has directed all police stations to take steps to stop drones from being used to gather sensitive information that could affect national security or to carry out terrorist acts. According to a statement from the Police Media Division, the Sri Lanka Police highlighted the potential dangers of drones being involved in activities that might threaten national security, including terrorist attacks. Therefore, it is crucial to act quickly to prevent these issues. In Sri Lanka, the import, sale, and use of drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), must follow the rules set out in the Civil Aviation Act No. 14 of 2010. However, the police have found that some groups are importing drones and trading spare parts in ways that could endanger national security. In response, the IGP has told all police stations to closely monitor the businesses that import drones or UAVs and their spare parts, as well as those selling and repairing this equipment in the country. The police must also ensure that these activities comply with the Civil Aviation Act No. 14 of 2010 and keep accurate records of these operations, as stated in the release.
