It has been buzziness not as usual as the civic authorities have got the big guns out in their battle against malaria and dengue in the city. Reports across highlighted how the city reported a surge in these cases. The BMC deployed a drone to sanitise the city’s Dhobi Ghat locality to curb the spread of these monsoon-related diseases.

The hi-tech sanitisation drive is welcome as there is little use having technology but not using it for these purposes. It would be good if the BMC can cover different pockets of the city through these methods.
