[00:00:12]Pe Love ji, how is the heat in Banda? How much trouble are you facing? The heat in Sir Bandha broke records, which means we have grown so much till date. This is the first time we have seen such heat, leave alone Asia. It is the hottest dam in the world and I am facing a lot of problems brother, that means you are in the field, this is our field job.

[00:01:19]We are not able to go from here to there. The temperature has risen so much. But the government has made some arrangements. But those proper arrangements are not there yet. Some arrangements have been made.

[00:01:28]How are you guys protecting yourself from the heat?

[00:01:30]Sir, see, we are mostly on liquid diet and we walk with our clothes tied around our body and our entire body covered. Take stops at various places. All these arrangements are being made.

[00:01:42]Summer is labor.

[00:01:43]Very much sir. Don't think that this year we have seen such terrible heat in our life.

[00:01:48]Not even this much last year. The heat in Banda is becoming very severe and it is becoming difficult to leave the house. When we leave the house, there is very hot wind blowing due to which sometimes we get heat stroke and to protect ourselves from this, we carry a water bottle with us and consume as much liquid as possible so that we can get relief from the heat. Will it be hotter this time than in the last few years? Yes, this time it has been getting hotter than in the last few years.

[00:02:14]The temperature never went as high as it is going this time. At this time, the highest temperature is being reported in Banda and yesterday it was reported to be 48.2 degrees centigrade and today also it is around 47, it is around 2 o'clock at this time.

[00:02:30]Even at this time the temperature is around 47 degrees and the entire Banda is in the grip of severe heat.

[00:02:37]What kind of crowd of patients is there and how are the patients coming? In this, mostly patients of stomach ache, vomiting, fever, diarrhea, fever and headache, dizziness are coming to us and all the people have been appealed not to go out in the sun from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm and whenever you go out, go with an umbrella or a towel and take water with you and do not go out on an empty stomach and whatever food you eat, take more liquid and do not take too much oily substance and do not eat cut fruits from outside.

[00:03:16]After this, as soon as you have any problem like stomach ache, vomiting, fever, diarrhea, immediately consult a doctor and come to the hospital.

[00:03:25]Well, generally there is a crowd of patients in BD. It is hot these days.

[00:03:30]How is the number of patients increasing in that? At present, as we have OPD, earlier there used to be 1800 to 2000 patients, now at least 3400 extra people are coming and most of the people who are coming are suffering from fever, diarrhea, stomach ache and dizziness.

[00:03:51]Advisory has been issued from. The temperature in Banda has been very high for the last few days.

[00:03:58]We have crossed 48 degrees the day before yesterday. The administration had already made preparations for this and we are taking action as per the plan we had made. We are keeping a close watch on the water supply, drinking water supply and electricity arrangements here.

[00:04:14]We are continuously taking reports from all the officers. Apart from this, we have already given leave to our children who go to school. The timings were also changed in between and for the publicity of the advisory that we have issued, we have made all the people aware through all our LEDs and all the means of publicity like news media that from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, unless it is very necessary, do not go out and if you have to go out, then go out in light clothes and children and the elderly should not go out at all, they are very vulnerable, our hospitals are on alert. The ambulance is on alert. If there is any problem anywhere, the administration is very active. There are some environmental activists and some reports say that the mining that takes place here, whether in the mountains or in the rivers, is also a cause of heat.

[00:05:07]See, whatever mining is done, it happens only after taking environmental clearances. So all these things are kept in mind during environmental clearances and whatever mining is being done is done as per the rules.

[00:05:22]To improve the environment, we are paying special attention to air forestation and tree plantation and this time also we have planned that we will plant trees on a large scale on the banks of our rivers and roads, due to which there is a possibility of some reduction in temperature in the future.
