The Punjab government has extended the ban on outdoor drone operations for another 30 days, citing ongoing security concerns. The decision, announced on August 24, 2026, continues restrictions on flying drones in open areas across the state.
According to official sources, the ban applies to all non-governmental drone operations, including recreational and commercial use. The extension follows a previous order that had imposed similar restrictions.
Authorities have not specified a particular threat but emphasized the need for vigilance. The ban is effective immediately and will remain in force for the next month.
Violations of the drone ban could lead to legal action under relevant sections of the law. The government has urged citizens to cooperate with security measures.
