AVPL Drones Keep Lakes Pest-Free

Hyderabad: Amid the season of rain, many local initiatives are required to avoid diseases like dengue and malaria. To work towards the same, AVPL International deployed advanced medium category drones across Banjara Lake and Sangareddy Lake in Hyderabad to spray mosquito larvicide, targeting mosquito breeding grounds.

The initiative covered a total area of 3 acres over a two-day operation, marking the beginning of a year-long project aimed at comprehensive mosquito control in the region. A medium-category drone equipped with a centrifugal nozzle was used for the spraying, ensuring precise application of the larvicide while minimising human exposure and maximising coverage. The operations were conducted by a team comprising 2 pilots, trained and certified by AVPL’s DGCA-approved Remote Pilot Training Organisation (RPTO).

Speaking about the initiative, Preet Sandhuu, Founder and MD of AVPL International, said, “It is an honor to work towards this transformative public health and safety initiative.
