More than 100 feared dead in India heat wave

AN intense heat wave in India has left more than one hundred people dead in India. The early-summer heat have forced schools to close and halted outdoor work like construction.

Neighboring Pakistan, which suffered its hottest spell in decades last year, plans to open 500 response centers to provide shelter and cold water to people if a heat-wave warning is issued.

India’s hottest months are May and June, but some states have already registered temperatures in excess of 40 degrees Celsius or 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Last year, India’s heat wave left more than 2,000 people dead. (Eagle News)
