17 councillors suspended for trying to disrupt monthly house meeting
As cases of dengue continue to rise in the city, the East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC) on Wednesday used a drone to spray anti-larval medicine. Mayor Shyam Sunder Aggarwal said the pilot project was carried out in an area behind Yamuna Bank metro station.
He said the drone has a capacity to carry 10-12 litres of anti-larval medicine and can cover a distance of up to three km. “If this initiative shows good results, then we plan to deploy drones in multiple areas which are hard to access. Drones have a good battery life and the medicine can be refilled according to the need,” Mr. Aggarwal said.
