T HE heat wave last year claimed the lives of 1,300 people owing to the carelessness of the provincial government, which failed to provide any satisfactory arrangement.
The reasons behind those deaths were lack of awareness, power breakdown and inadequate health facilities.
The extreme weather is another major reason behind it.
This time around the heatstroke has started claiming its victims in the city, and has so far claimed the life of three people.
According to the weather forecast, the temperature may reach an alarming level of above 40 degrees Celsius. The government must act seriously.
