India, known for its vibrant democracy, is currently in the midst of a massive election that is facing a unique challenge - a heatwave. As the country enters the penultimate phase of voting, the scorching temperatures are posing a significant obstacle for both voters and election officials.
The heatwave, which has been sweeping across various parts of India, is not only making it uncomfortable for people to stand in long queues at polling stations but also raising concerns about the impact on voter turnout. With temperatures soaring, there are fears that many voters may choose to stay indoors rather than brave the heat to cast their ballots.
