Temperatures Expected To Soar In Larkana
It is expected that in the coming few days, temperatures in Larkana will skyrocket to 42 degrees. Sweltering heat coupled with long bouts of load-shedding has led to a rise in the incidence of gastroenteritis.
The government’s claims to reduce load-shedding in the month of Ramadan and to guarantee electricity at Sehri and Iftaari have not been put into action. Residents have to put up with 10-14 hour stretches of load-shedding, forcing them to have iftaari in parks and open spaces instead of at home or at the mosque.
