Description
Byline: Farrukh Shahzad Weather conditions In Pakistan are worsening as the country is under a strong, heavy and unending spell of sweltering heat waves which has restricted the activities of the common man. Immediate adverse effects of such climatic conditions have begun to cast their shadows on health and agriculture sectors of the country. For instance, a host of heat related diseases such as heat-stroke, gastro, typhoid, urinary tract infection, migraine, food poisoning and diarrhea are some of the common causes wrecking family budgets in terms of doctors' bills. In the agriculture sector, there is a drought-like condition that has dried out the animal fodder and other crops as well. The production of dairy products has touched an all-time low due to drying out of milk by buffaloes and cows caused by the blazing heat. Milk prices have crossed Rs60 per kg for the first time in history. Pakistan is an agro-based economy which totally relies upon climatic conditions and a permanent change in them is likely to lead to a grave food crisis. Thus, the current heat waves are no longer simply an environmental concern. Instead, they have malignantly transformed into becoming a problem for everybody.
