In a groundbreaking move, the Punjab government has launched a state-of-the-art airlift drone capable of carrying a person to rescue flood-affected residents. The drone, designed for rapid response in disaster zones, promises to significantly reduce the time taken to reach stranded individuals and provide immediate relief.
Officials stated that this technology will complement traditional rescue efforts, particularly in areas inaccessible by boats or helicopters due to rising water levels. Demonstrations conducted during the launch showed the drone successfully transporting volunteers across flooded regions, highlighting its potential in saving lives during emergencies.
The government plans to deploy multiple drones across flood-prone districts ahead of the upcoming monsoon season.
