Delhi Police Bans Laser Beams, Drones Near IGI Airport
Imagine you're a pilot trying to land a plane.
Suddenly, bright laser beams or drones appear, making it hard to see!
That's why Delhi Police banned these things near the IGI Airport.
From July 26 to September 23, no one can use laser beams or fly drones in that area.
Laser lights are used at parties and weddings and are distracting.
Drones could be used for bad things, so they are banned too.
If you break the rules, you could go to jail or pay a fine.
This is to keep everyone safe.
Delhi Police banned laser beams and drones near IGI Airport for 60 days.
