Kathmandu: Relief materials have been delivered at remote areas of Gorkha districts, which are disconnected from road network due to flood, using drone.

According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority, drones have been used to deliver necessary relief materials to affected citizens during Dashain.

Chief of the NDRRMA, Dr Dharma Raj Upreti, shared that drones have become effective to deliver relief at the areas disconnected from road network and geographically remote areas.
