With a heat wave gripping Yadgir district, residents have been forced to stay indoors to save themselves from the scorching sun. With the temperature soaring day by day, they don’t have any option but to stay indoors during daytime and come out only in the evening.
The rise in temperature was witnessed in the district after Shivaratri festival. It has been hovering over the 40 degree Celsius mark for the past one week.
In the wake of the heat wave, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has been sending text messages to individuals with mobile phone connections, alerting them about additional precautions to be taken. People have been advised not to venture out between 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.
