Mumbai civic body deploys drones for fumigation

The equipment, which costs around Rs 7 lakh, was brought through the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds. The drone, which has a 10-litre tank, can fly up to 40 meters in height and spray the chemical on a plot the size of 5 hectares area in an hour. The drones are being used to spray anti-larval chemicals on roof gutters in abandoned mill compounds, railway workshop areas, and inaccessible spots in the slums.
