After Chennai startup, IIT Guwahati too develops drone to sanitise large areas

New Delhi: A group of students at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati, has developed a drone with an automated sprayer to sanitise large areas including roads, parks and footpaths, to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

The student group, which has a start-up called “Racerfly”, has approached the Assam and Uttarakhand governments offering to join the fight against the coronavirus pandemic with their sprayer system which they claim can accomplish a task in less than 15 minutes which would otherwise take a person 1.5 days of work.
