New Delhi: The number of people killed in the worst heat wave of this summer in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has reached 34.
According to the Indian media, the condition of the people in the state of Uttar Pradesh has disappeared due to the heat wave. The long load shedding on it made life miserable for the citizens. It is very hot and sunny outside and there is no electricity in the house.
The citizens also protested strongly over the lightning strike, but it did not fall on the ears of the Modi government. The death toll due to extreme heat has reached 34. Most of the dead are over 60 years of age.
Doctors have forbidden the elderly to go out in the sun. Due to the deaths, the space in the crematorium has become less and there are no beds left for patients in the hospitals.
The increase in deaths is also due to power outages, lack of provision of medical facilities and mismanagement by the government. This month is likely to be the hottest in India.
It should be remembered that in April this year, 13 people died in Mumbai city alone due to extreme heat.
