Delhi Government Cooling Zones Bring Relief in Heatwave

May 09, 2026

Amid a severe heatwave in Delhi, the Delhi Government has set up ‘Cooling Zones’ across crowded areas, bus stands, and metro stations to offer much-needed relief. These camps are staffed by volunteers from the Delhi Disaster Management Authority and Civil Defence, who are actively assisting people on the ground. Here, pedestrians can take a break and are provided with free caps, towels, cold drinking water, and ORS. Commuters, rickshaw pullers, shopkeepers, and daily workers battling the scorching sun are finding real relief through this initiative.
