Shillong, Dec 22: Sighting of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by local residents continued along Meghalaya’s international border with Bangladesh.
The last sighting of Bangladeshi Bayraktar TB2 UAV reported from Mawkyrwat area in South West Khasi Hills, according to a senior police official.
There have been several incidents of sighting of the UAV across Meghalaya’s 443-km-long international border with the neighbouring country.
“People not only from Mawkyrwat, Shella and Cherrapunjee but from other parts of the state such as Dalu, Mahendraganj, Rongara (in Garo Hills) have reported spotting bickering lights – sometimes green and sometimes red – in the sky,” the official said.
The UAVs fly very high and it is not possible to find how they look with naked eyes.
The border villagers had revealed that these suspected drones flew for a few minutes and then disappeared in the sky.
Meanwhile, the Centre as well as the state government are keeping a close eye on the situation along Indo-Bangla border in the wake of sighting of the UAVs along Meghalaya’s international border.
The UAVs were first spotted near Sohra and Shella, about 200 meters south of the Zero Line.
