Turbat, the second largest city in Balochistan, is experiencing extreme heat in 2025, with temperatures soaring above 50°C. Life has become increasingly difficult for the residents, as the intense heatwave has severely impacted routine.
The unavailability of electricity further exacerbates the situation, making it challenging for people to cope with the heat. Many have considered installing solar panels, but the high cost and risk of damage due to extreme temperatures make it a daunting task.
The heat has become so unbearable that people are unable to leave their homes, work efficiently, or carry out their daily activities. The authorities need to take immediate action to provide relief to the residents of Turbat and address the electricity shortage. Emergency measures should be taken to mitigate the effects of the heatwave, including ensuring a stable electricity supply, and exploring alternative solutions to support affected communities.
