In the wake of the increasing temperature, the Delhi government is getting ready to post water ambassadors at bus stops throughout the city under the Delhi Jaldoot scheme. There are about 1,525 bus stops in the state that will now have the facility of water Ambassadors under the Jaldoot scheme. The government plans to provide water-service at the bus stops in the national capital so people can get relief from the heat.
Each Water Ambassador will carry a large container to store water and distribute drinking water to passersby. The aim is to provide people with clean drinking water in rising mercury. This step comes as part of government’s summer action plan.
In addition to the Water Ambassador scheme, there is also a plan to install water coolers. As a pilot project, e-tenders are being issued to install water coolers at 25 selected locations. Moreover, water arrangements will also be made at 25 bus depots.
To fight the scorching heat, the Delhi government in the month of April launched its Heat Action Plan 2025. The focus of the plan is not just on emergency responses but also on relief measures like installing water coolers, cooling shelters, shading structures, dedicated hospital wards, etc.
