The Karachi Bar Association requested a temporary change in the lawyers’ dress code due to the intense heat. They have approached the session judges to allow lawyers to skip wearing the black coat for ten days. The association highlighted the difficulty of performing daily tasks in heavy uniforms during such extreme weather.
The association’s general secretary emphasized that wearing the coat in this heat poses health risks. The extreme temperatures are making it hard for lawyers to work comfortably.
The severe heatwave in Karachi has led to the discovery of 19 bodies across the city in the last 24 hours. The intense heat and humidity have played a role in these tragic deaths, with many of the deceased suspected to be drug addicts. This situation underscores the urgent need for relief measures in the city as residents struggle to cope with the oppressive weather conditions.
