Citizens in India

Several people have died due to heat-related illnesses in the past 24 hours as temperatures continue to rise in north and central India.

"Ten deaths were recorded at the government hospital in Odisha's Rourkela district on Thursday," authorities told Reuters news agency.

Deaths from heatstroke have also been reported from the states of Bihar, Rajasthan and Jharkhand and the capital Delhi.

The sweltering heat comes as India holds its general elections, the results of which will be announced on June 4.

Mahendra Kumar, the district magistrate of Bhojpur district in Bihar, told the Times of India newspaper that three election officers and a policeman had died in the city on Thursday due to high temperatures. 

In the past week, the capital Delhi and surrounding regions experienced record temperatures close to 50 degrees Celsius.

Videos of residents in Delhi rushing for water from water tankers have been widely shared on social media. Many parts of the capital are also experiencing frequent power outages./ CNA
