The plan should make the streets of India's capital safer, police said, especially in light of a twenty-something finance executive who said this weekend that she was raped by an Uber cab driver.

That incident led the police to find new ways to patrol the crime-prone areas of the city.

The project will be launched as early as next month in the north district area, dna reported, and the drones will most likely be fitted with thermal imaging night vision cameras.

"With this project, North Delhi will become the first district with complete camera surveillance in Delhi. This would be achieved with the combined range of with CCTVs and drones. The only areas which will be kept out of it will be the LG House, Delhi Assembly and Metcalfe House," said a senior police official, in the dna report.
