Telangana and Karnataka to deploy drones to deliver vaccines in remote areas
Civil aviation ministry, on Friday, gave nod to use drones for experimental delivery of vaccines
Granted conditional exemption to the Telangana govt from the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Rules, 2021
This will benefit people in geographically isolated locations on a large scale
Drones will deliver vaccines within the visual line of sight range
The Ministry statement, however, doesn’t mention which vaccine will be transported
Govt of Karnataka tied up with a startup Garuda Aerospace for the purpose
In a bid to ensure faster vaccine delivery and improved healthcare access
