Ahmedabad Municipal authority AMC prepares its Heat Action Plan, informing people about extreme climates in the near future and the necessary steps to tackle it, this week. Municipal Commissioner said, “If the city’s temperature exceeds 43 degrees, the plan will ensure that people are alerted about the heatwave a few days in advance.” Arrangements will be made to protect people from heatwave.
“City gardens will remain open during afternoons. Doctors and 108 service will be instructed to remain prepared to cater to victims of heatwave. Water and electricity department will be instructed to remain prepared with adequate supply of water and electricity respectively,” said AMC officials. Ahmedabad was the first city in South Asia to introduce heat action plan.
