Authorities said the restriction has been imposed to ensure tight security arrangements during the Prime Minister’s visit.
Private and commercial operators have been directed not to operate any such aerial devices within the district during the specified period.
Exceptions will be allowed only with prior written permission from the competent authority following security clearance.
In a separate order, the district administration has also imposed no-parking restrictions along key routes from March 10 to March 14 to facilitate smooth movement of VVIP vehicles.
The restrictions will apply on the stretch from ISBT Point to Mangal Pandey Statue Point (Silchar Bypass–Hailakandi Road junction) and from ISBT Point to the ONGC campus at Srikona.
Officials have instructed vehicle owners and drivers not to park along these routes during the specified period to prevent traffic congestion.

The administration has warned that any violation of the orders will attract legal action under Section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
