The Pecica City Hall purchased a drone five years ago for 4,000 lei to monitor illegal waste and construction, but it has never been used due to a lack of qualified operators. Local residents criticized the purchase after a woman shared the official response from the administration on social media. The mayor explained that efforts to hire a drone operator have been unsuccessful, but he believes the drone could help identify hidden waste and illegal constructions once an operator is found. Despite not being used, the drone remains functional and ready for deployment when a qualified individual is hired.
