The extreme heat is disproportionately affecting vulnerable populations, including outdoor laborers, farmers, and those in urban heat islands like Delhi. Heatstroke, which has an 80% mortality rate if untreated, is a growing concern. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures is also linked to chronic health issues, such as kidney disease. The lack of accurate mortality data and insufficient government intervention further heighten the risks, leaving millions at risk of heat-related illnesses and fatalities.
