NEW DELHI: Delhi High Court has issued a direction to the authorities in Delhi to use drones to conduct fire safety inspection surveillance operations in Karol Bagh area, which is notorious for great numbers of unauthorised constructions which have led to traffic congestions in the region.

The court expressed strong exception to non-filing of status report by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation and Delhi Fire Services (DFS), which were initially ordered to appoint nodal officers for regular interaction and communication so that fire audit is given priority.

A bench of justices Hima Kohli and Asha Menon directed the NDMC and DFS to file a joint status report on the issue by the next date of hearing, that is, October 14.
