The locally manufactured BTI will be used for the first time in a pilot project tomorrow at Matakuliya and Peliyagoda to control the spread of dengue mosquitoes, Health Minister Maithripala Seirisena said today.

The local BTI was produced by a Sri Lankan firm, Bio power, but was yet to be tested in the country. (S.A.J)
