Unlike the other parts of the country where heavy rains hit the cities, karachites pray for it as the temperature is gradually increasing day by day and will be on its peak in the months of May and June. According to MeT, similar to the last year a severe heat wave will strike the city yet again. Keeping in mind that last year more than 1200 people died because of heatstroke, the provincial government have ordered the health department to take the precautionary measures but nobody knows whether these orders will be implemented or wander in the air.
Therefore, the preemptive measures should be taken to save as many life as we can and prevent the risk of casualties. Otherwise this issue will become upcoming burning topic in local and international media and gigantic affliction for the people of Karachi.
