Govt urged to go all out to tackle heatwave

KARACHI - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Parliamentary Leader in Sindh Assembly Khurrum Sher Zaman criticized the KMC and Karachi commissioner for lack of preparedness to deal with current heatwave in the city.

Sher Zaman expressed shock and dismay over the reported remarks of the KMC health director that this time no heatstroke camp was established in Karachi, as Karachi Commissioner Ejaz Ahmed Khan has given no such directives this year to establish these camps.

“It is negligence and incomprehensible that the KMC has not established a single heatstroke camp throughout the city and I strongly urge that Karachi commissioner to set up these camps as soon as possible,” he added.

He suggested that if the KMC does not want to establish its own heatstroke camps that it outsource this to NGOs and welfare organisations that are already doing this or the Rangers.

Zaman appealed to all levels of governments and the various religious communities in Karachi to open up their offices and houses of worships as cooling centres where people could find a place to sit and escape the heat.
