As Delhi parts see temperature touch 50 C, Admin orders special safety measures for workers

The LG also directed DDA to make adequate arrangements to provide water and coconut water to labourers at construction sites for necessary hydration.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena directed certain measures in view of the heatwave conditions in the city. This comes after temperatures soared to around 50 degree Celsius in several parts of the city.

The LG ordered for labourers to be given a paid break from 12 noon to 3 pm due to the soaring temperatures. The three-hour break that has already been implemented by the Delhi Development Authority since May 20 will continue across all construction sites till temperatures dip below 40 degree Celsius.
