Nagpur Metro sets up 150 water points to protect workers from heat

MahaMetro has introduced a heat action plan at construction sites in Nagpur amid rising temperatures.

The measures include installation of 150 water points and deployment of 200 umbrellas across metro work locations.

Officials said the initiative is aimed at protecting workers from extreme heat conditions.

Construction schedules have also been adjusted to reduce exposure during peak afternoon hours, reported The Times of India.

Workers are being provided ORS and shaded rest areas at project sites.

The move comes as temperatures continue to rise across central India.

Authorities said worker safety measures were being strengthened due to prolonged heat conditions.

The metro project continues across multiple parts of the city.

The development reflects increasing adaptation measures at infrastructure sites during heatwaves.
