PESHAWAR:
In response to the ongoing heatwave, the Peshawar district administration has established heat response units at various key locations across the city to provide immediate medical assistance to the public.
Under the supervision of the district administration, a total of 11 units have been set up at high-traffic areas including busy markets, bus terminals, and other public places.
These units are equipped to offer drinking water, Oral Rehydration Salt (ORS) sachets, basic first aid, and shaded rest areas to citizens suffering from heatstroke or related conditions.
Deputy Commissioner Peshawar, Sarmed Salim Akram, along with Additional Assistant Commissioner Syed Basharat Hussain, visited several heat response units, interacted with citizens, and distributed water bottles and ORS sachets among them.
Speaking on the occasion, DC Peshawar said, “Protecting the public from the extreme heat and ensuring their safety is our top priority.
The district administration is fully committed to providing all possible relief to the 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 commitment to public service but also a potentially life-saving intervention in the current weather conditions.
