2015 was the first year an unforgiving heat wave struck southern parts of Pakistan with temperatures exceeding 40C (104F) throughout large portions of Sindh and Baluchistan.
With temperatures reaching a boiling point of 45C, Karachi suffered most during the heat wave with over 1300 deaths being reported within a span of a week. Hospitals and aid workers were soon overwhelmed, unable to cope with the unprecedented death toll.
This dark passage in the recent history of Karachi overshadowed what is usually a month of peace and reflection – the month of Ramadan. Among the chaos and despair, the people of Karachi in the spirit of Ramadan rose up to give a helping hand to those who needed it most. The city witnessed a surge of people of all ages coming out on the streets with cold water bottles, ice and food for iftari, providing help to all those who needed it most.
This Ramadan Atlas Battery Limited – Pakistan’s leading battery brand is helping spread the spirit of compassion and goodwill by providing the people of Karachi a place of shelter where they’ll be protected by the unforgiving summer sun while waiting for public transportation.
Atlas Battery has transformed numerous bus stops across Karachi into comfortable breezy resting places featuring state-of-the-art Misting Fans powered by AGS Batteries to help alleviate the onset of heat-strokes.
