Islamabad: Pakistan will use drones to monitor motorways and highways of the country and provide a record of round the clock movement on roads, according to a media report Sunday.
The technology would help in not only controlling and managing the traffic volume across the motorways and highways for its smooth and safe flow but also provide for effective and timely interception of crimes, The News reported.
The information gathered by the drones could be used in nabbing the criminals.
The system will be in place in a couple of weeks, the paper reported. The use of drone’s technology would be displayed towards the end of this month at few points on the motorways.
The project was discussed at the National Highways and Motorways Police (NHMP) headquarters Friday during a virtual conference attended by officers of the force from across the country.
The meeting also discussed a five-year plan for catering to future requirements and demands of the motorway police for its modernisation.
