Union Minister Jitendra Singh's remark came while launching a drone driven aerial delivery facility to transport COVID-19 vaccines as well as emergency medicines to inaccessible areas in a short span of time.
Union Minister for Science and Technology Jitendra Singh said that while Pakistan's drones carry explosives to spread terror and threaten human lives, the Indian drones have assumed the role of a COVID warrior and are carrying life-saving vaccines and medicines.
This indeed is the fundamental difference between the two countries, he added.
Mr Singh was speaking while launching the first-of-its-kind drone driven aerial delivery facility to transport COVID-19 vaccines as well as emergency medicines to inaccessible and difficult areas in a short span of time, said a press release by the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Referring to the first consignment of 50 vials of COVID-19 vaccines which were dropped by the drone near the International Border (IB) in Marh area, Mr Singh added, the "Octacopter" drone which was developed indigenously at Bengaluru at the initiative of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) under the Ministry of Science and Technology, is truly a messenger of peace, while Pakistan is using the drone to disrupt peace, according to the press release.
