Heatwave: Delhi Hospitals Swamped With Heat Stroke Patients | ABP News

Data compiled by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) revealed 46 heat-related deaths and over 19,000 cases of suspected heat stroke in the country in May, PTI reported. Officials noted that this data does not include deaths from many states such as Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Delhi, indicating the figures could be much higher.

Large parts of northern and eastern India remained in the grip of a sweltering heat wave on Tuesday, driving power demands to record highs. Warmer-than-usual nights have further exacerbated people's distress, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported. 

Maximum temperatures ranged from 44 to 46 degrees Celsius in many parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and some parts of north Madhya Pradesh, south Bihar, and north Rajasthan.
