JAIPUR: While chief minister Ashok Gehlot has appealed to people to take precautions as mercury has gone up across the state, at some places touching 45°C, the health department has asked its officials to keep a stock of medicines up to the level of sub-centres.
The department appealed to people to avoid going out when the heat is at its peak in the afternoons. Also, people have been advised to use fresh food as cases of diarrhoea and other stomach related ailments might increase. One such incident has already been reported three days ago from Dausa district, where at least 22 children of a school were rushed to hospital after theyr complained of diarrhoea and vomiting after consuming midday meal at a government school in Bhojpura Ki Dhani.
