Nagrakata Uses Drones to Tackle Rising Dengue Cases

The Nagrakata block administration has launched an intensive mosquito control operation in Balajhari Dibrupada to combat the recent rise in dengue cases. On Wednesday, officials deployed drones to spray larvicide in areas where traditional spraying methods are difficult to perform.

Targeted Spraying and Prevention Efforts

The administration is using drone technology to reach inaccessible locations to ensure comprehensive coverage against mosquito breeding. According to block officials, this initiative is part of a larger plan to control the spread of the virus. The local administration has also initiated regular fogging and street cleaning drives throughout the affected neighborhoods to eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites.
