The Gangtok Traffic Police have taken a significant stride in modernizing the city's traffic management by integrating two advanced drones. This technological leap aims to bolster public safety measures within the capital of the Himalayan state.

The initiative involves using these state-of-the-art drones for real-time traffic monitoring, especially in congested areas and residential colonies notorious for hindering vehicular flow.
