Civil Aviation Ministry nod paves the way; MHA permission will help scale up
A pilot project for using drones to supply vaccines proposed in Telangana has received a boost with Union Ministry of Civil Aviation granting conditional exemption from certain rules for such experimental delivery. “MoCA gives conditional exemption from Unmanned Aircraft System Rules, 2021 to government of Telangana for conducting experimental delivery of vaccines using drones within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) range,” the Ministry tweeted on Friday about the April 29 order. Last month, the State had applied for the exemption and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation gave approval on April 26, the Ministry said.More Related News
