 "drdo, research, biological warfare, chemical, military, coronavirus,")
NITI Aayog member and former Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO) chief V K Saraswat said on Monday that the DRDO must “revive work on a bio (logical)-defence programme”.
Speaking at a videoconference on National Technology Day, Saraswat called on the DRDO to provide “more focus” on its six laboratories that work on life sciences.
While Saraswat did not directly suggest that the Covid-19 pandemic was related to biological warfare, it is significant that the government is exhorting military laboratories to work concertedly on biological defence.
India is one of the 183 signatories to the Biological Weapons Convention of 1975
