Peshawar:
In response to the ongoing heat wave, the Peshawar District Administration has established heat response units in various key spaces throughout the city to provide immediate medical assistance to the public.
Under supervision of the district administration, a total of 11 units were created in areas of high traffic, including busy markets, bus terminals and other public places.
These devices are equipped to offer drinking water, oral rehydrating salt (ORS) bags, basic first aid and shady rest areas to citizens suffering from heat power or related conditions.
Deputy Commissioner Peshawar, Sarmed Salim Akram, together with further assistant commissioner Syed Basharat Hussain, visited several heat response units, interacted with citizens and distributed water bottles and ORS bags among them.
When he spoke to the occasion, DC Peshawar said, “to protect the public from the extreme warmth and ensure that their security is our highest priority.
The district administration is fully obliged to give all sorts of relief to citizens. We urge the public to take precautionary measures and avoid going out in the sun unnecessarily. “
He added that this timely initiative is not only a practical demonstration of the administration’s obligation to public service, but also a potentially life -saving intervention in the current weather conditions.
