Agencies
NEW DELHI, Nov 7: The Delhi government is going to hire three mist spray drones to combat dust pollution in hotspot areas as well as gather real-time data on major pollutants, officials said on Thursday. These drones would be deployed across 13 identified pollution hotspots to spray water and improve air quality, they said. This will help in settling dust particles, reducing particulate matter (PM) concentrations and mitigating the adverse effects of air pollution on public health and the environment, officials said. "The process for hiring a vendor to operate the three drones has begun as a 15-day trial in hotspots areas," said an environment department officer of the Delhi government. The drones would be equipped with a minimum 17-litre tank and would be capable of covering one acre within 15 minutes. Also, these will integrate real-time air quality monitoring systems and high-resolution cameras for accurate data collection and reporting, officials said.
