UAVs hovered over 12 villages in the Kotwali Dehat area here after reports that the terrorists could be hiding in agricultural fields, Additional SP (Rural) Radheshyam said.
The snaps taken by the cameras fixed in the drones will be analysed to track down the terrorists.
The suspected terrorists are wanted in connection with a low-intensity blast in a house here on September 12 - a day before Assembly bypolls.
Three persons have been arrested for allegedly sheltering the terrorists.
According to initial investigations, some youths were assembling bombs in a room they had rented in Jalan locality under Kotwali police station area when the explosion occurred.
Nearly seven kg match sticks kept in cartons, four big packets of match boxes, low-intensity explosives and remains of a half-assembled bomb were recovered from the room.
The UP Police has also sought cooperation of its counterpart in Uttarakhand in tracing them. They have handed over their photographs to the hill state police.
ADG (Law and Order) Ram Singh Meena has said a joint combing operation along with Uttar Pradesh Police has been launched in some areas of Haridwar district close to UP border.
