Heatwave in Karachi
The discomfort caused by the arrival of summer is further aggravated because of unscheduled loadshedding. Over the past few years, Karachi has been witnessing extreme summer. In 2015, the heatwave in the city resulted in the death of at least 1,000 people. The question is: has our government taken any preventative actions and measures to avert the loss of precious lives, especially in the month of Ramazan? Proper steps should be taken to avoid any untoward incident.
Awareness campaigns should be carried out to inform people how to prevent heatstroke. The government should set up camps at various locations and provide cool drinking water to passers-by. Hospitals should be well-equipped to deal with any untoward situation.
