In the flood-affected area, 'Drone Didi' is spraying anti-larvae: The Municipal Corporation in Varanasi has taken responsibility, and one acre is being sprayed every 10 minutes.

The municipal corporation has made extensive preparations to combat the spread of infectious diseases that may arise after the floodwaters recede in Varanasi. The corporation has hired Varanasi's famous drone didi (female drone operator) to spray anti-larvae medicine in these areas to tackle mosquito-borne diseases. On Sunday evening, drone didi Asha Devi sprayed anti-larvae in the Konia ward, reducing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases by up to 90 percent.
