Stay tuned for more updates on this significant development.
In a significant move to provide relief to workers in the scorching heat of Delhi, Lieutenant Governor V.K. Saxena has announced a three-hour break from work between 12-3 pm. The best part? Workers will not face any deductions in their salaries during this time.
Amidst soaring temperatures in Delhi, reaching up to a staggering 50 degrees due to a heatwave from Rajasthan, this decision comes as a much-needed respite for the labor force.
But that’s not all. Lieutenant Governor Saxena has also ensured that water and coconut water will be made available at construction sites and bus stands for the workers, emphasizing the importance of staying hydrated in such extreme weather conditions.
However, it seems like not everyone is on board with these proactive measures. The Lieutenant Governor expressed his disappointment and anger towards the Delhi government for failing to take similar steps to address the issue at hand.
On a positive note, the Delhi Development Authority has already begun implementing the Summer Heat Action Plan from May 20, showing a step in the right direction to combat the effects of the scorching heat on the residents of Delhi.
It’s heartening to see officials taking concrete steps to prioritize the well-being of workers during such challenging times. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe, Delhi!
