    Solution

    Haryana Police is the first force to use drones for tear gas. The Haryana Police dropped tear gas shells from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) on protesting farmers on the Punjab-Haryana boundary. The drone-based tear smoke launcher to control riots and for other crowd control situations was developed by the Tear Smoke Unit (TSU) of the Border Security Force (BSF) in 2022 but it has not been sold to any state police force yet.
