Delhi Government Expands Heatwave Relief with Mobile Units and Cooling Zones

The Delhi government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has intensified its heatwave relief efforts by deploying Mobile Heat Relief Units and establishing 14 cooling zones across the city to assist vulnerable groups such as commuters, labourers, and rickshaw pullers. Between May 6 and May 23, approximately 2.65 lakh people received aid including over 1.13 lakh litres of cold water, more than one lakh ORS packets, 44,646 gamchas, and 30,864 caps. Cooling zones provide seating, cold water, desert coolers, and fans, with locations rotated daily to reach crowded areas. The campaign is set to continue until July, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments by the government.
