At least 167 people in India have died of high temperature since April?

According to the local media in India on May 2 1 Sunday, since April, the heat wave has hit a large area of India, and at least 167 people have been killed by heat in Telangana, southern India.

However, according to local media reports, Indian officials have not determined that the deaths of these people were caused by high temperatures. A committee composed of local representatives, police and doctors will investigate the cause of death. Officials said that the government would only approve the corresponding assistance after the Committee determined that these people died of high temperature. At present, the Committee is reviewing the deceased, but it has not yet been determined that someone died in hot weather.

According to the National Disaster Emergency Management Center of India, severe dehydration and heatstroke are the main causes of death, while ordinary workers, women, children, the poor and the homeless are the main victims. In addition to casualties, the continuous heat and strong sun exposure have also brought severe challenges to Indian agriculture. In many parts of India, rivers dry up and the earth cracks.

In 20 15, the local temperature was as high as 47, in which the death toll in Andhra Pradesh exceeded 1600 and that in Telangana exceeded 500. In addition, there are victims in Orissa in the east, Maharashtra in the west and the capital New Delhi.
