Karnataka govt has launched an initiative to use drones to sanitise containment zones as well as deliver medicine and essential goods to people affected by Covid-19.
The drones with a capacity to ferry 35-40 kg of materials can be used for delivering medicines and essential goods besides sanitising the areas.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) recently granted the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) a conditional exemption for testing the feasibility of drones in delivering vaccines.
