London police have thwarted an attempt by an environmentalist group ‘Heathrow Pause’ to shut down the airport in London, the busiest in all of Europe, AFP reports.
The group had planned to use toy drones to disrupt flights at the airport but failed after the first such miniature drone failed to receive any signals from the hand-held remote control.
"We agree with the need for climate change action but illegal protest activity designed with the intention of disrupting thousands of people is not the answer," a London police spokesperson said regarding the incident.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
