Other areas of the province that suffered from heatwave included Rohri, Saleh Pat, Pano Aqil, Jacobabad, Jamshoro, Tando Mohammad Khan, Matiari and other cities.
Meanwhile, the people were compelled to stay at home, while the number of students in schools and colleges across the province had also declined considerably. Further, patients in the hospitals were also facing difficulties due to heatwave accompanied by load shedding.
