Delhi Deputy Mayor Launches Drone Mosquito Spraying Campaign
Imagine Delhi has a big problem with mosquitos that can make people sick with diseases like dengue.
To help fight these mosquitos, city officials have started a new plan!
They are using special flying robots, called drones, to spray special bug spray.
These drones can fly over the riverbanks, especially in places where it's wet and hard for people to reach, to get rid of mosquito eggs and bugs.
The leaders hope this new, fast way of spraying will help keep everyone healthier and stop diseases from spreading.
They also asked people to help by keeping their homes clean and not letting water sit around.
Deputy Mayor Jaibhagwan Yadav launched a drone-based pesticide spraying campaign on Tuesday.
The campaign targets mosquito breeding along the Yamuna River banks in Delhi to combat diseases like dengue, malaria, and chikungunya.
Drone technology will be used to spray pesticides in hard-to-reach and waterlogged areas.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is undertaking this initiative as a modern and efficient method for mosquito control.
Officials emphasized the importance of this technology for public health and urged public cooperation in maintaining cleanliness.
