Discussion
Statement: The day time temperatures in this summer have been four to five degree Celsius above the normal temperature across the country.
Courses of Action:
1. All the district headquarters should be alerted to send prompt reports of death due to heat waves in their jurisdiction.
2. The Government machinery should be put on high alert and provided with necessary equipments to prevent any untoward incident.
3. The Government should make necessary arrangements to provide drinking water in all the areas affected due to extreme heat waves.
Answer: E
Correct answer: Only II and III follow
II and III are preventive and practicable: putting the government machinery on alert with the necessary equipment, and ensuring drinking water reaches the affected areas, both reduce the harm the heat will do. I is directed at counting the dead rather than preventing deaths - useful for the record, but not a response to the situation the statement describes.
