"We used drones to keep a tab on violators and those who indulged in hooliganism on Holi," Chandigarh DSP Kewal Krishan said today.
The drones were deployed at several points in the Union Territory, including Matka Chowk and Sector 10, which is known as the 'Geri route', he said.
Chandigarh (Traffic) Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Shashank Anand said drones were also used as an experiment to check traffic violations.
Meanwhile, the city police issued 146 challans for drunk driving, 46 for using modified silencer in bikes and 24 for over-speeding.
