I would like to draw attention to the growing threat of heatstroke during the ongoing summer season. With temperatures reaching extreme levels, many people are facing serious health risks. Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition that can occur due to prolonged exposure to intense heat and dehydration. If not treated promptly, it can lead to severe medical complications or even death. Unfortunately, many people remain unaware of its dangers and fail to take necessary precautions.
The government, health authorities and media should launch awareness campaigns to educate people about preventive measures. Easy access to drinking water, shaded rest areas and emergency medical assistance should also be ensured, particularly for outdoor workers.

I would like to draw attention to the rising heat crisis in Turbat. Every year, temperatures are becoming higher and creating serious problems for the people. Daily life has become difficult, especially for workers, students and elderly people. Due to extreme heat, people face health issues such as dehydration, tiredness, and heat-related illnesses. Water shortages and electricity problems make the situation even harder. Many people cannot stay cool during the hottest hours of the day.
The authorities should take immediate steps to address this issue. More water facilities, improved electricity supply, tree plantation campaigns and public awareness programmes can help reduce the effects of extreme heat.
