Prime Minister Narendra Modi has issued a public advisory urging citizens across India to take precautions amid the ongoing severe heatwave affecting several regions of the country.
In a series of posts on X, the Prime Minister appealed to people to stay hydrated, avoid stepping out during peak afternoon hours, and remain alert to symptoms of heat-related illnesses such as dizziness, nausea, and extreme fatigue.
He stressed that timely care and awareness can prevent serious health risks, especially for children, the elderly, and outdoor workers who are more vulnerable to extreme temperatures. He also encouraged people to check on elderly family members and ensure they remain safe and hydrated.
“Please stay hydrated, keep water with you when stepping out. Offer a glass of water to others,” PM Modi said, highlighting the importance of community care during extreme weather conditions.
