LAHORE — A laborer unloads large ice blocks from a tricycle loader at a roadside vendor stall as demand for ice surges due to the searing summer heat in the city. The sweltering temperatures have significantly increased the need for ice, a common commodity to combat the oppressive heat faced by residents.
Vendors across Lahore have reported heightened sales as locals seek to stay cool during the increasingly intense heatwave. The labor-intensive task of transporting and unloading ice blocks has become more frequent, and vendors are struggling to meet the soaring demand.
