Pathankot Air force authorities here have distributed posters to local residents living in villages close to the airbase, showing pictures of gliders, paramotors, etc as part of an awareness drive.
The posters also carry telephone numbers of officials to whom the residents can contact them if they see such aerial vehicles.
"Pamphlets have been distributed to sensitise people. They have been issued in the general interest of public," official sources said.
This exercise came days after when airforce authorities pasted posters declaring shoot at sight orders on the peripheral walls of the station.
Meanwhile, Pathankot SSP Rakesh Kaushal said Punjab police was already on alert.
He said that security drills were being conducted on regular intervals.
"People are being told if they see any suspicious person in their locality, they should inform the police immediately," Kaushal said.
In January this year, terrorists had attacked the airbase in which seven security men were killed.
