DRDO now takes on mosquitoes, launches repellent cream
New Delhi, Feb 14 (PTI) It has been developing missiles and other state-of-the-art equipment for the armed forces, but the DRDO is now ready to take on the oldest human enemy- mosquitoes-- that are vectors of diseases like malaria, and dengue with a new insect repellent cream.
Launching the 'Maxo Military' and 'Maxo Safe and & Soft Wipes,' DRDO said the cream based product will fool the mosquitoes, will have a pleasant fragrance and will not block your skin pores-- a common problem with such products.
"This cream is based on a uniquely configured, researched and tested molecule which acts like a decoy and cheats the mosquito. It does not allow mosquitoes to sense the presence of human blood in their vicinity," Prahlada, Chief Controller, Research & Development, of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) told reporters.

but it is so sad that the physical education personnel and librerians of IITs only retiring in the age of 60 years excluding the other institutes under CFTI.
The age of superannuation of all physical education personnel and librerians of IITs should be 62 years like other institute under CFTI.
If retirement age is 62 years then they can get the benifite.
