The Unmanned Aircraft Systems Rules 2021, which went into effect on March 12 of this year, will be updated by these new rules.</p>
<p>Unless exempted, drones now require identification numbers. According to the notification, a unique identification number for the drone can be generated by entering the required information on the digital sky platform.</p>
<p>As per the government, the guidelines have eliminated the need for different clearances, such as certificate of conformity, certificate of maintenance, import clearance, acceptance of existing drones, operator licenses, authorization of R&amp;D organizations, and student remote pilot licenses.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to Dubai-based low-cost carrier fly Dubai, Indian people will now be able to visit the UAE on tourist visas if they have not visited India in the previous 14 days. All other pandemic time regulations must be followed by the guests.</p>
<p>After placing travel restrictions on Indians in April-end, at the height of the deadly second Covid outbreak, the UAE has been gradually opening up to Indians. It has been steadily permitting more categories of visitors from India in recent weeks. Visitors should verify the latest requirements before planning a trip these days, as admission rules change regularly during Covid.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some 150 Indian citizens who were kidnapped by the Taliban this morning have been released and are currently securely inside Kabul airport. They will be airlifted out of war-torn Afghanistan soon.</p>
<p>A top government official said Indian citizens waiting outside Kabul airport for evacuation planes were escorted to a neighboring police station for questioning and travel document checks, amid accusations in the local media that they had been abducted.</p>
<p>The Taliban&#8217;s &#8216;picking up&#8217; of Indian citizens comes hours after an Air Force transport aircraft managed to evacuate around 85 Indians from Kabul; the plane has landed safely in Tajikistan, sources said, adding that a second aircraft is on standby in India. India has evacuated all embassy staff but an estimated 1,000 citizens remain in several Afghan cities and ascertaining their location and condition is proving to be a challenge.</p>
