🧠 Problem Title: Increasing Risk of Heatstroke Due to Extreme Heat and Lack of Protection in Public Areas
📝 Problem Description

During summer seasons, temperatures in many parts of India rise to extremely high levels. It is often observed that people working or traveling outdoors remain exposed to direct sunlight for long periods without adequate shade, cooling, or hydration facilities.
In crowded public places, roads, construction sites, and transport areas, individuals such as workers, street vendors, commuters, and delivery personnel may continue outdoor activities despite intense heat conditions. Continuous exposure to high temperatures can lead to dehydration, exhaustion, and heat-related illnesses.
I have observed people struggling under extreme heat during daytime hours, especially in areas with limited shade or cooling arrangements. Public places with concrete surfaces and heavy traffic may feel even hotter during peak summer conditions.
This problem highlights the growing impact of extreme heat on public health and the lack of sufficient protective infrastructure in outdoor environments. Improving awareness and access to shade, drinking water, and cooling support is important for reducing heat-related risks.
