Patiala authorities are utilizing drone technology to spray preventive medication in dengue hotspots to curb the spread of the disease.
Patiala administration has initiated a new strategy to combat the dengue outbreak by deploying drones for aerial spraying. This technological intervention is aimed at reaching areas that are difficult to access with conventional ground-based methods.
The primary focus of this operation is on identified dengue hotspots within the city. By using drones, authorities aim to ensure uniform and efficient distribution of preventive medication in these high-risk zones.
This approach is part of broader public health efforts to reduce mosquito breeding and prevent further transmission of the dengue virus. The use of modern technology in disease control is expected to enhance the speed and coverage of the spraying campaign.
Local health officials have emphasized the importance of community cooperation in supporting these efforts to keep the city free from dengue infections.
