UAVs being used in Naxal-affected areas: Govt



New Delhi: The government on Tuesday said it has begun using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Naxal-affected areas of the country.

"Yes, madam," Minister of State for Home Jitendra Singh told the Lok Sabha in a written reply.

The minister, however, said, "It is too early to make an assessment on the effectiveness of unmanned aerial vehicles deployed in Left-wing extremism-affected areas."
