✊ MediaFx Opinion

Yaar, it’s not just unpredictable weather—it’s a social crisis. The working class and migrant labourers, who live in less ventilated slums, lack air conditioning, and can’t take days off, are bearing the real cost of this heat. We demand more public relief measures: shaded community centres, free water stations, and regulated work hours during peak heat. Climate change isn’t just nature's problem—it’s our class struggle. We stand for solidarity, social justice, and collective relief. 🕊️👷‍♂️👩‍⚕️ #ClimateJustice
