ORS Supply in Tamil Nadu:

With summer in full swing, temperatures in some areas are reaching dangerous levels, which can lead to dehydration. To prevent this, it is essential for people to take precautions and avoid going out unnecessarily during the hottest parts of the day. The TN government has recognized the severity of the situation and has taken measures to address it. 

In response to the intense heat, TN Government has supplied the public with Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS), which is available at all healthcare facilities. 

Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) During Summer:

ORS is a safe and effective way to prevent dehydration and restore electrolyte balance in the body. It is made up of a mixture of water, salt, and sugar and can be consumed orally. The Tamil Nadu government has announced that they are prepared to provide these solutions to anyone who needs them. ORS is especially important for vulnerable populations, such as the elderly, young children, and pregnant women.

It is crucial for people to take heat-related illnesses seriously and take steps to prevent dehydration. The TN government's efforts to provide ORS to the public is a commendable step towards ensuring public health and safety during the summer months.
