Taj Mahal, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beloved wife Mumtaz Mahal. Its breathtaking beauty has captivated hearts worldwide for generations.
The security of the world renowned Taj Mahal is going to be tightened with high-tech  anti-drone systems. Presently, the monument is guarded by Central Industrial Security Force along with Uttar Pradesh Police.
The decision was taken after the Indian Armed Forces carried out the ‘Operation Sindoor’ on 07 May 2025, striking 9 terror establishments in Pakistan. In reply Pakistan also struck with artillery shelling, missiles and drones. But all these air strikes were neutralized by the Indian Armed Forces.
ACP (Taj Security), Syed Arib Ahmad said, “An Anti-Drone system will be installed at the Taj Mahal Complex. The system will have a range of 7 to 8 Kms but will be primarily effective within 200 mts radius from the main dome of the monument.”
“The system will automatically jam the signal of any drone entering the area, rendering it inoperable through what is known as a ‘soft kill’,” he said.
ACP added that police personnel are being trained to operate the system and a dedicated response team is being formed. The team will trace the origin point of the drone and secure the area where it is brought down”. ”
The installation of the system is expected to be completed within the next few days to secure the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
