Coronavirus: DRDO develops techniques for sanitisation of areas

NEW DELHI: Enhancing its role in India’s fight against coronavirus, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has developed techniques for carrying out sanitisation of different areas, officials said on Friday. Earlier, the DRDO had worked on developing safety suits, ventilators and special masks.

The Centre for Fire Explosive & Environment Safety (CFEES), Delhi has developed two configurations for sanitising equipment. These are spinoffs from technologies developed for fire suppression applications, the DRDO said in a statement.

The first one is portable backpack area sanitisation equipment and the other is trolley-mounted large area sanitisation equipment. (AGENCIES)
