As temperatures continue to soar in Haryana's Rewari district, the local police have stepped up to provide much-needed relief to commuters and travelers. In a proactive measure to combat the scorching heat, the Rewari Police have set up several stalls along major roads and highways, offering free drinking water, buttermilk, and shaded rest areas.
Initiative to Beat the Heat
The initiative, launched under the directives of senior police officials, aims to prevent heat-related illnesses among those traveling during peak summer hours. Commuters, including truck drivers, daily wage workers, and pedestrians, have benefited from these facilities. The stalls are equipped with water coolers, ORS packets, and basic first-aid kits. Police personnel are also stationed to assist anyone feeling unwell due to the heat.
Community Response
Local residents and commuters have praised the police department for its timely intervention. Many have expressed gratitude on social media, highlighting the importance of such measures during extreme weather conditions. The police have also been distributing pamphlets with tips on staying hydrated and avoiding heatstroke.

The Rewari Police plan to continue the service throughout the summer months, with additional stalls to be set up in rural areas as well. This effort reflects a growing trend of police departments across India engaging in community welfare activities beyond their traditional law enforcement roles.
