India Heatwave: More Than 500 Dead as Temperatures near

Officials warned the toll was likely rise, with figures still being
collected in some parts of the hard-hit Telangana state in the south of
the country, and with no end in sight to the searing conditions.
.
Large parts of India, including national capital New Delhi, have endured
days of sweltering heat, prompting fears of power cuts.
.
Most of the 539 recorded deaths have been of construction workers, the
elderly or the homeless in the southern states of Andhra Pradesh and
Telangana, officials said, but some deaths have also occurred in Uttar
Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal.
.
Andhra Pradesh authorities are urging labourers and others not to work
long hours in the heat of the day after 325 people died from the high
temperatures there in the last week.
.
"The majority of the victims are people who have been exposed to the sun
directly, usually aged 50 and above and from the working classes," P Tulsi
Rani, special commissioner of Andhra Pradesh's disaster management
department, said.
.
Mr Rani said although the deaths started occurring on Monday last week,
the number of cases increased towards the end of the week after days of
scorching heat.
.
"We are asking them to take precautions like using an umbrella, using a
cap, taking a huge quantity of liquids like water and buttermilk, and
wearing cotton clothing," he said.
