Neu -Delhi: In a pioneering step towards climate adjustment, Delhi Prime Minister Rekha Guppa started the “Delhi Heat Action Plan 2025” on Monday, which aimed to protect the citizens from the intensifying threat from heat waves. The plan, formulated according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), emphasizes the willingness in the areas, from slum clusters to hospitals, schools and public transport.
CM Rekha Gupta in the Delhi Secretariat said to an event and said: “This plan was created in a scientific and civic-centered approach to the protection of the citizens of Delhi from extreme heat and dangerous heat waves.” She emphasized that Delhi's summer had started 50 ° C in recent years and converted heat waves into a “deadly crisis”.
The most important initiatives announced include the installation of 3,000 water coolers in the city, cooling tones on footpaths as well as the implementation of cool roof and green roof technologies in government and private buildings. “We will make sure that every citizen and pedestrian in Delhi has access to clean and cold drinking water in summer,” said the CM.
The plan also includes the introduction of “Digital Cold Water Dispensern” in public places and a pilot rollout of cool night technology. “These are not only upgrades for infrastructure, but also proof of the commitment of the government for environmental innovations,” said the prime minister.
Special heat wave stations are set up in large hospitals that are equipped with cooling options, ORS and trained staff. Over 1.4 million students in 5,500 schools are trained by initiatives such as the “Water Bell” campaign in disaster management and heat wave precision in order to promote regular fluid intake.
The government of Delhi will work with the Indian meteorological department in order to output color -coded thermal arms, green, yellow, orange and red and take measures accordingly. Mobile warnings, media and digital portals help to spread information promptly.
“This is not only a government system, but also a popular movement,” said CM Gupta and appealed for the participation of the citizens. “Until every citizen of Delhi takes part in these efforts, this seasonal challenge cannot be completely overcome.”
With the support of agencies such as UNEP, UNICEF, Resilience AI and UC Berkeley, the plan includes the mapping of weaknesses at districts at district levels and tailor -made interventions for groups, children, older people, women and people with chronic diseases.
Cold water systems are also arranged at bus stops and train stations, while accommodations and auxiliary centers are set up in slum areas. The CM also emphasized the need for a sympathy with animals and fucking to ensure that they are provided for drinking water and shadows.
In their final comments, the Prime Minister underlined the role of “Aapda Mitra” disaster aid as a “living symbol for our vigilance and our service”. With regard to national campaigns such as “Mission Life” and “Jal Jevan Mission”, she added: “This is a collective determination of Delhi's citizens and the government. A popular movement to maintain Delhi and protect the future of the coming generations.”
With an integrated and community -related strategy, the government of Delhi would like to lead the way in urban climate silence this summer.
