Peshawar:
In response to the ongoing heat wave, the Peshawar district administration has established heat response units in various key places in the city to provide immediate medical assistance to the public.
According to the supervision of the district administration, a total of 11 units have been established in high -traffic areas, including busy markets, bus terminals and other public places.
These units are equipped to offer drinking water, oral rehydration salt sachets (ORS), first basic aid and shaded rest areas to citizens suffering from heat stroke or related conditions.
Commissioner Vice President Peshawar, Sarmed Salim Akram, together with the additional attached commission Syed Basharat Hussain, visited several heat response units, interacted with citizens and distributed water bottles and bags among them.
Speaking on the occasion, DC Peshawar said: “Protect the public from extreme heat and ensure that their safety is our highest priority.
The district administration is totally committed to providing all possible relief to citizens. We urge the public to take precautionary measures and avoid rising unnecessarily. “
He added that this timely initiative is not only a practical demonstration of administration’s commitment to public service, but also a potentially wild intervention in current climatic conditions.
