      <title>Punjab police to procure 34 advanced quadcopters for surveillance, counterterrorism</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Punjab Police have announced plans to acquire 34 state-of-the-art quadcopters to strengthen surveillance and tactical capabilities across the province.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initiative aims to bolster monitoring of terrorist activities, criminal networks, and large-scale public or political gatherings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A police spokesperson confirmed that each quadcopter will feature high-resolution cameras, extended range, and the capacity to carry grenades for tactical operations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The drones will support field operations of the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) and play a key role in anti-dacoit missions, particularly in the Kacha region.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authorities have estimated the cost of each drone at Rs 2,194,000, bringing the total procurement budget to approximately Rs 74.5 million.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The bidding process is currently open, with interested companies required to register by April 28, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officials will open the tenders on the same day, and procurement will commence immediately afterward.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Police officials confirmed that the purchase will be finalized before the conclusion of the current fiscal year.&lt;/p&gt;
