Delhi Government to Distribute Summer Heat Relief Kits to Construction Workers

The Delhi government plans to distribute summer kits containing nine items, including glucose powder, ORS sachets, sattu, sun caps, towels, sharbat concentrate, and water bottles, to over 100,000 registered construction workers to help them cope with extreme heat. The initiative, managed by the Delhi Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, aims to reduce heat-related health risks. Distribution will begin soon, with an estimated cost of over Rs 18 crore, and may expand if more workers register. The government has also adjusted working hours to limit heat exposure.
