At a time when corona virus cases are increasing in Tamil Nadu and also in neighbouring Karnataka, the Dhaksha Team mentored by Thala Ajith Kumar has come to the rescue with a drone aiding in the fight against virus. The drone can spray disinfectant to sanitize large areas.
The drone was launched by Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister Dr. C.N. Ashwathnarayan who took to Twitter to congratulate the actor and the team for their efforts.
