Can Silchar police seize my drone under Assam law for flying in restricted area?

Flying a drone in a restricted area of Silchar can lead to seizure under the Assam Rent Control Act 1972 which empowers authorities to confiscate unauthorized drones. The Gauhati High Court has upheld seizure where the drone posed a security risk to sensitive installations in Silchar.

The Assam Rent Control Act 1972 requires prior authorization for flying in red zones designated around Silchar. Violations can attract fines and prosecution in addition to seizure in Silchar.

The Gauhati High Court has directed Assam to publish restricted zone maps for public awareness in Silchar. You can challenge an unreasonable seizure before the Gauhati High Court under the Assam Rent Control Act 1972.

Return of seized drones may be ordered upon compliance and payment of penalty in Silchar.
