The transportation authorities made the decision to give “cold drinking water” to every motorist because the heat wave in Haryana was still going strong. In a letter addressed to the general managers of each roadway depot, the director of state transportation instructed them to make sure that drinking water is always available in the buses.
“Every bus operating on the roadways should have cold drinking water availability due to the continuous rise in heat wave. Passengers traveling in buses should be provided with drinking water so that they do not face difficulties,” stated the director of transportation.
“The Haryana government has provided cold drinking water for passengers in all Haryana state transport buses in response to the growing heat wave. An official spokesperson said in a statement that “the directorate of state transport has issued instructions to all general managers across the state to implement this initiative immediately.” The spokesperson also noted that the directive emphasizes the importance of cold water due to the rising temperatures, which have significantly aggravated bus passengers.
