As many as 16 people died due to heat-related causes in just two hours in the district hospital in Bihar's Aurangabad on Thursday. The maximum temperature in the city was 44 degrees Celsius on Thursday and, at 48.2 degrees, it was the hottest place in Bihar on Wednesday, setting a record for the state.
Visuals showed family members of the dead crying at the hospital. A doctor said at least 35 more patients have been admitted because of heat-related causes, but added that all arrangements are in place.
"We have enough doctors, medicines and ice packs, and more coolers have also been arranged," he said.
