In response to extreme heat, the Delhi government has set up Cooling Zones throughout the city, providing a much-needed respite for commuters. These zones, equipped with giant coolers, mist water sprayers, and shaded areas, are attracting between 700 to 1,000 visitors daily. Currently, 15 Cooling Zones are operational, with the highest footfall observed at the one near Jama Masjid metro station, which serves about 1,000 visitors each day. Users have praised the initiative but also highlighted the need for improvements, such as separate areas for women and children, as well as better security measures. Ajit Srivastava from the Delhi Disaster Management Authority noted that the zones are staffed by volunteers and provide a cooler environment, with temperatures inside being 12-13 degrees Celsius lower than outside. Local drivers and commuters have found these zones particularly beneficial, as they lack adequate resting facilities on their routes. However, operational challenges, including managing high footfall and security concerns, remain a concern for caretakers.
