Assistant Commissioner of Police (Traffic) R K Meena and Inspector Ombir Singh monitored the traffic situation from the
Bell L-4 206 helicopter of the public sector Pawan Hans Helicopters Limited (PHHL) flown by its two pilots, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Mukesh Kumar Meena said.
The chopper circled areas of north, north-west and west districts between 12 pm and 2 pm, he said.
The sortie was carried out despite foggy conditions over the National Capital.
The helicopter, equipped with night-vision devices, would be used on "trial demos" for a fortnight from today and would conduct surveillance during the republic day celebrations.
Earlier, Delhi Police used to take the help of army and air force for use of helicopters for aerial surveillance during the R-Day and Independence Day celebrations.
The Bell helicopter is fitted with forward looking infra-red (flir) cameras besides other sophisticated surveillance equipments to carry out the job even at night and can pick up objects at very long distances, police sources said adding it was earlier used by the customs department for anti-smuggling operations.
Use of choppers by police has not been in vogue in the country, unlike in several other nations. For the first time, police would get a feel of how effective it was to maintain surveillance over the vast national capital territory by a chopper.
