A pilot project announced by the Karnataka government, which involved spraying organic anti-microbial solution in the air in a bid to mitigate the spread of Covid-19, has been now put on hold after environmental and health concerns were raised by the city’s civic body.
On Saturday, the government had announced that an American Champion Scout aircraft carrying around 100 litres of organic anti-microbial solution would be flown over the city. The aircraft would spray the solution over congested areas such as Shivajinagar, City Market and Majestic. The pilot project was to be carried out from 8 am to 10 am for three days starting from Monday.
