Police and Gendarmerie Deploy Drones to Secure Gaziantep Eid Markets
Ahead of the Kurban (Eid al‑Adha) celebrations, the Gaziantep police and gendarmerie introduced a drone‑based security programme at the city’s livestock markets. Aerial units surveil the market areas while ground teams conduct identity checks and regular patrols.
The drones broadcast voice warnings to shoppers and vendors, urging vigilance against counterfeit money, theft and fraud. Any suspicious activity detected from the air is relayed instantly to officers on the ground for rapid response, and the authorities say the operations will continue throughout the holiday period.
