Heatwave claims 68 lives in UP's Ballia; hospitals overwhelmed

A villager mourns as he cremates his relative who died from heat-related illnesses, in Ballia, Uttar Pradesh, Monday, June 19. A scorching heat wave in two of India’s most populous states has overwhelmed hospitals, filled a morgue to capacity, and disrupted power supply, forcing staff to use books to cool patients, as officials investigate the number of deaths. “So many people are dying from the heat that we are not getting a minute’s time to rest. On Sunday, I carried 26 dead bodies,” Jitendra Kumar Yadav, a hearse driver in Deoria town, 110 kilometers (68 miles) from Ballia, told The Associated Press.
