HEATSTROKE CASES IN MUMBAI
Mumbai has reportedly recorded high numbers of heatstroke cases in recent weeks, as India as a whole faces soaring temperatures.
Maharashtra, the region that Mumbai lies in, reported a total of 276 cases of heatstroke in March, April and May this year alone, though no deaths have yet been reported.Â
According to Dr Divya Gopal from HN Reliance Hospital, he explains little about the situation, ‘While we are transitioning into the monsoon phase, heat continues to affect young office-goers in the 20-45 age group, now more than ever.’
