Severe heat wave accompanied by loadshedding has gripped several cities of interior Sindh and Punjab.
The temperature had gone up to 48 degrees centigrade in Larkana, Sukkur, Bahawalnagar and Rahimyar Khan.
Other areas of Sindh that suffered from the heatwave included Rohri, Saleh Pat, Pano Aqil, Jacobabad, Jamshoro, Tando Mohammad Khan, Matiari and other cities.
Meanwhile, the people decided to stay home rather than face the blistering heat outside, while the number of students in schools and colleges across the provinces had declined considerably. Moreover, patients in the hospitals were also being tormented due to the heatwave accompanied by relentless loadshedding.
Further, the sale of ice and cold drinks also increased manifold.
