A state government owned DJI quadcopter was used to take live feed during the swearing-in ceremony of CM Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal. The feed was also supplied to the news channels for live telecast.

Probably a first during a government organized function?

No, Kolkata police owns this one as well as several others. Its not outsourced. They have a traffic control room at police HQ from where keep watch. Last year they also used a drone in a fire incident on the 15th floor of a building to find out trapped people. That was a much bigger one...not a DJI.

Several government departments have started using drones. Last year a funny incident happened when the agriculture dept. was making a video using a drone. They were filming a market when a farmer threw a cauliflower at it and took down the drone. The drone was recovered but someone took away the camera

Similar fate awaits all delivery drones in India in future.  

That would be a hilarious news to read

"Along with the Heart Organ the recipient "bungled" away with the delivery drone too"

"Amazon looses 70% of its delivery drone to the Kunti Lasso's of the prospective recipients"

"DHL bogged down with 80% loss to its drone to the Kanta Hooks of prospective Recepients"
