An Indian anti-drone system, known as the Vajra Super Shot, will be deployed at every Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 venue to safeguard the airspace near the grounds. The initiative is being taken by a private company, with the initiative of prioritising the commitment to national security in lieu of the Pahalgam terror attack in Kashmir.
The anti-drone system will help identify any drones in the 4-kilometre radius of the stadium. It can disrupt the communication signals of the drone, therefore neutralising any potential threat.
Starting with the ongoing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) match at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata, the anti-drone system will be deployed in the remaining IPL 2025 matches.
Ever since the Pahalgam terror attack took place on April 22, cricket has become a major talking point. Earlier today, former India cricket team captain and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President, Sourav Ganguly, talked about cutting all cricketing ties with Pakistan.
“100 per cent, India should do this (break ties with Pakistan). Strict action should be taken. It has turned out to be a joke that such things are happening every year. Terrorism cannot be tolerated,” Ganguly told reporters.
BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla had also stated that there is no chance of bilateral cricket resuming between India and Pakistan. The neighbouring countries haven’t played a series since 2012, and that will remain the case, assured Shukla.
“We are with the victims, and we condemn it. Whatever our government says, we will do. We don’t play with Pakistan in a bilateral series because of the government’s stand. And we will not play with Pakistan in bilaterals going forward. But when it comes to ICC events, we play due to ICC engagement. ICC is also aware that whatever is happening, they will look into it,” Shukla told on Thursday.
