Lahore continues to reel under an intense heatwave, with temperatures expected to soar to 44 degrees Celsius on Monday, leading to a surge in heatstroke cases and civil protests over persistent electricity load shedding.
In the past 24 hours, 43 heatstroke patients have been reported in various hospitals across the city. Mayo Hospital has admitted eight patients, General Hospital has treated 25, and Ganga Ram Hospital has seen 10 cases.
Medical professionals are urging residents to stay indoors, stay hydrated, and avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun during peak heat hours.
Despite the ongoing heatwave and power issues, there is a glimmer of hope as the Met Department has forecast a chance of rain later this week, which could bring much-needed relief to the beleaguered residents of Lahore.
