Unlike Pakistan which uses drones to drop weapons and further terrorism in Indian territory, India uses its drones to serve humanity, Union Minister Jitendra Singh said on Saturday at the launch of operations of an unmanned aeriel vehicle to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to areas along the international border in Jammu and Kashmir. "Pakistan is using drones to drop explosives to cause harm to human life and further terrorism, but our drone will act as a carrier of 'Sanjeevani Boti' for the betterment of humanity and is going with a message of peace," Singh, who is Union minister of state in the Prime Minister's office, said. The use of this type of drones will be of great help and also aid in fulfilling the government's resolve of 100 per cent vaccination, Singh said. This device will prove very beneficial in this direction as we will be successful in reaching families which are living in the remotest region and mountainous areas," the Union minister said. The UAV is made out of light weight carbon fiber and is a foldable structure that allows ease of transportation.
