With temperatures soaring across the national capital, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday announced a series of measures aimed at tackling the heatwave, including providing ORS solution in schools, and ensuring uninterrupted supply of power and water.
During a review meeting with all the departments, the chief minister directed the Department of Education to make arrangements for the ORS solution across schools in Delhi.
She also asked the Labour Department to ensure that all outdoor labourers remain off work between 1 pm and 4 pm.
“All children will be given ORS solution before leaving school so that the heat does not affect them while walking back home,” she said.
The chief minister has also directed the transport department to carry drinking water inside a cool box on all DTC buses.
“Directions have been given to ensure uninterrupted supply of power and water,” Gupta further said.
