    [SINGAPORE] Drone manufacturer DJI has been running tests in the Himalayan mountain range in Nepal, with unmanned aerial vehicles that could remove debris – which increases the risk of an avalanche – left behind by climbers on Mount Everest.

    The growing number of drone applications has helped boost the earnings of Thakral Corporation , a diversified company that distributes electronics and lifestyle products including those of DJI, as well as invests in property.

    And its chief executive officer, Inderbethal Singh Thakral, is confident that its distribution of DJI drones in South Asia will continue to drive growth.
