Srisailam On High Security Alert Over Drone Activity

Police are on high alert after a drone hovered around Srisailam temple and other religious places at nights over the last three days. Srisailam Devasthanam executive officer KS Rama Rao said that a police complaint was filed by the temple authorities at the Srisailam Police Station. One of the security staff at Srisailam Devasthanams first noticed a drone camera flying over the shrine and other sub shrines only at nights over the last three days.

The lighting objects have been found not only near the temple but also near the Mallamma Kanneeru, Viswamitra Matam, Uttara Park, reservoir and other sites. According to the police, they tried to track the flight using a drone camera on Saturday night but all their efforts went in vain as it disappeared into the Nallamala forest area.

Lord Bhramaramba Mallikarjuna Swamy temple executive officer KS Rama Rao said that they had not given any permission to capture photos using drones over the temple.

A few days ago, a drone attack took place on the Jammu airbase. So, Srisailam police are not going to take the issue lightly. Police intensified their search for the drone at lodges, guesthouses and cottages at Srisailam in the last 24 hours.
