      Drones and Artificial Intelligence-based platforms will be used by civic authorities as part of their comprehensive plan to combat dengue this year, with focussed fumigation at monument sites, hotels and markets in Delhi, which will host the G20 summit in September.

      According to a senior official of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), "Our plan is to make the city cleaner, safer and more vibrant" so that the visiting delegates of the influential bloc go back with a wonderful experience.

      In a statement on Saturday, the MCD said it has "envisioned a comprehensive and pro-active plan to prevent dengue this year with special focus on G-20 meeting venues, monuments, hotels, shopping mall, famous markets and other places of gathering of the delegates".

      In this comprehensive plan, one of the AI-based platforms i.e unmanned aerial vehicle or drone-based vector surveillance and concurrent anti-larval spray activity will be done on major drains to prevent breeding of mosquito larvae, it said.

      Larvivorous fish will be released in water bodies to prevent mosquito larva breeding through biological control methods. Fogging will be carried out as per NCVBDCP guidelines whenever required, keeping the NGT orders in mind, in an eco-friendly manner, the statement said.
