The Institute of Fundamental Research, Hyderabad, is releasing some balloons, containing scientific equipment, into the atmosphere from October 15 this year to May 31, 2010.
The balloons, after travelling for some distance, could release parachutes with scientific equipment. The parachutes can fall anywhere on the earth. Public who came across such parachutes shouldn’t touch them as the equipment could pose a threat to their security.
