India: drones to start monitoring agricultural fields in real-time

Drones monitoring farms in the name of "stopping pollution."

The claim is that farmers were hiding their activities from satellites by working at night — so this is now needed:

"Government believes satellite surveillance alone is no longer enough. That's why Drones will not only quickly detect smoke and fire, but geo-tag the farm, record photos and videos to give authorities live information. Teams can then arrive immediately and take action. A big technical step toward stopping pollution."
