Drone spotted hovering over TISS campus; Housing.com Executive behind incident
An unidentified drone was spotted hovering around 20 metres above the Tata Institute of Social Sciences complex in Trombay on Monday afternoon.
This incident triggered a security alert as the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, which is on the terror hit-list, is located nearby.
According to media reports, the policeinvestigating the incident have found a Housing.com Executive responsible for hovering the drone over BARC and TISS. The Housing.com employee was taking visuals to upload it on their website. A TISS professor had spotted the drone flying at a height of 20 metres in the area and immediately alerted the police control room.
He even recorded the incident and handed over the footage to the police. A group of people who operated the drone can reportedly be seen leaving the location in a car in the video clip.
A case has not yet been registered.allegedly flying drones.
Flying any object over the city is illegal unless police permission has been granted.
The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, which includes advanced nuclear labs, has been on a terror hit list for years.
The incident comes a month after drones were spotted over the Mumbai airport in which case two men from Dharmanandan Diamond Pvt Ltd, a Surat-based diamond firm, were arrested.
China, the world's largest carbon emitter, has put up advertisements at public places depicting the environmental issues in Indian cities like Mumbai to warn its people about the impact of climate change and encourage them to plan future around low carbon development.
Advertisements depicting pictures of Mumbai and Allahabad among others have been put up along the streets and places such as Wangfujing city centre area in downtown prominently to draw people's attention towards consequences of pollution.
China, which pledges to cut carbon emissions and plans to minimise the adverse impact on its economy, highlighted issues of plastic garbage, sandstorms in Indian cities in its ads and also suggested ways to address the environmental challenges.
One of the ads says the grim situation teenagers faced in Mumbai on not finding appropriate place to play is due to heap of plastic garbage. "The beaches in Mumbai were covered in plastic garbage, teenagers, eager to release energy of youth, had no choice but to play cricket in the garbage heap," said one of the ads, which prominently highlights a picture showing a boy playing cricket on heap of garbage at a beach.
Another advertisement speaks about Allahabad.
"On July 12, 2015, the city of Allahabad in India was hit by sandstorms, the resulting low visibility made it impossible for pedestrian to see each others in the sand," describes the billboard under the concept of low carbon development.
The picture put up with the message shows four persons facing sandstorm while walking in front of a written slogan of 'Ganga Bachao' campaign.
The board of advertisements, written in English as well as Chinese language, have been erected along the footpath and catches attention of visitors in Wangfujing road area, which has shopping malls and is located within walking distance of noted destinations like Forbidden city and Tiananmen Square.
The message about Indian cities are among over a dozen such advertisements which describe environmental issues and problems in other countries also, which included drought in Australia, and shows approach for low carbon activities that could in turn ensure energy security and reduce pollution.
Low-carbon development is China's key strategies to achieve its target of reducing carbon intensity and to make its contribution in solving problems of global warming and sea level rising.
Looking at the projection of population for years to come, China plans its major cities and fast growing urban areas around low carbon development and finds opportunity to create global model for sustainable and low carbon cities.
For this, the government has developed a low-carbon strategy that includes more efficient energy and waste water use, transport systems that reduce congestion, and sustainable urban design.
A recent study had pointed out that India and China suffer over $ 1.89 trillion annually in terms of the value of lives lost and ill health caused from air pollution.
