Patiala authorities will use drones to spray anti-mosquito medication in identified dengue hotspots as part of a new control strategy.
Patiala municipal authorities have announced a new initiative to deploy drones for spraying anti-mosquito medication in identified dengue hotspots.
The drones will target specific areas where dengue transmission is high, delivering the medication directly to breeding sites.
The move is part of the city's broader effort to curb dengue outbreaks and reduce the burden on healthcare facilities.
Officials say the aerial approach will enable quicker coverage and reduce human exposure to chemicals.
