ISLAMABAD — A young resident sought respite from the sweltering summer temperatures by bathing in a city canal as the mercury continues to soar across the region.

The intense heatwave gripping the city has pushed temperatures above typical seasonal norms, leading to increasing concerns about public health and safety. The local authorities have advised residents to stay hydrated and avoid outdoor activities during peak sunlight hours to prevent heat-related illnesses.
Citizens and community leaders have called for improved infrastructure and access to water-based amenities to provide better relief options for those affected by the ongoing heatwave.
