The route of the procession passes through communally sensitive areas of the city, which witnesses tight security on the day.

“The two UAVs will conduct aerial patrolling, monitor the rath yatra procession and click digital photographs to facilitate peaceful festival,” Gujarat Director General of Police Amitabh Pathak said here today.
