MALAPPURAM, July 20, 2026 — In a proactive move to strengthen aviation security and maintain safe skies, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has conducted a comprehensive Drone and Laser Light Awareness Programme for residents living in the vicinity of Calicut International Airport. The initiative aimed to educate the local community about the severe operational risks and flight safety hazards associated with unauthorized drone flights and the misuse of laser lights near the airfield.
During the awareness sessions, CISF officials briefed residents on the legal ramifications of illegal drone deployments and highlighted how stray laser beams can temporarily blind pilots during critical phases of flight, such as landing and takeoff. Emphasizing the power of community vigilance, the authorities outlined the vital importance of immediately reporting any suspicious drone or laser activities. To ensure swift action and seamless coordination, emergency contact details were distributed to the residents, allowing them to directly alert the police or airport management. Through this joint community-policing effort, the CISF reaffirmed its ongoing commitment to fostering public awareness and guaranteeing a secure, hazard-free aviation environment.
