Last year in October, a similar advisory was issued by police in view of Uri army base attack where it had declared Mumbai a no-fly zone for paragliders, drones, micro-light aircraft and such other devices. A similar alert was issued after police spotted four persons near the Mumbai naval base in September last year.
