He urged people to stay indoors as much as possible during extreme heat, stay cool, and wear protective clothing when going out to avoid heat waves.
He also recommends people drink enough fluids to stay hydrated.

The DG advises herdsmen to protect their cows during extreme heat as well. He also asked the farmers to adjust their working conditions according to the weather conditions.
He said meteorologists predicted that this year’s monsoon could be unprecedented, affecting Balochistan and Sindh.
He said that with climate change and the return of wet years in recent years, the river also began to record excess flow and levels that increased the positive effect of rainfall.
