Beat the heat

Karachi witnessed a severe heatwave in 2015, which took more than a thousand lives. The city is recording extreme temperatures once again. I am a working professional, and on my way to I I Chundrigar Road from the Karachi airport, I hardly see any bus shelters, forcing people to wait for the bus under the sun.

The sweltering heat calls for the authorities to start a tree plantation campaign. Trees not only keep the environment clean and green but also allow people to relax under their shade. We need more trees to deal with extreme temperatures.
