Drones in India: Good, bad but not so ugly !

An interesting news was in the air last week when an unmanned drone from Mumbai,India delivered a Pizza to a skyscraper at around 1.5 km distance. Francesco's Pizzeria from Mumbai that tried this concept claimed that drone was flying within the range of 130 metre from the Earth's surface and was within safety levels.
Seems quite cool and resembles a scene from a sci-fi movie but it is actually inception of bullet delivery service in our nation. Many e-commerce companies and restaurant chains believe this will not only help improve services offered to the customer but will also prevent traffic problems and pollution caused by vehicles.
Indeed, it is high-end scientific approach but as per government authorities drones can result in compromising of safety of common people as many terrorists may use this technology for destruction. Also, in India where wiring is used for most communication methods which can act as barriers, we can't be sure if using drones amidst them is a practical application. Also, some mischievous elements in India may interfere with the working of the drones in future just for the sake of fun by using the delivered products illegaly.
It surely is going to be a bit costly process for the companies that use them but will definitely change the scenario of the country soon !
