A campaign to distribute drinking water to motorists was held in Podolsk

In Podolsk, near Moscow, employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate distributed water to motorists on July 10 against the background of extreme heat. The action took place on the roads of the district.

The online publication Podmoskovye Segodnya, citing the press service of the district administration, writes that traffic inspectors were interested in the drivers' well-being and gave practical recommendations on how to prevent overheating.

It is noted that such actions help to prevent accidents that may occur against the background of poor health of motorists due to the heat.

Earlier, on July 10, Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development, said that free distribution of drinking water to residents of the city had been organized in polyclinics and public service centers "My Documents" in the capital. The distribution of bottled water is organized during the hottest hours — from 12:00 to 15:00. The action began on Thursday in all flagship centers of public services, including the Palace at VDNH. On Friday, water will be distributed in the main buildings of clinics throughout the city. If necessary, taking into account the weather conditions, the volume and geography of drinking water distribution will be rapidly expanded.
