The surge in deaths this months follows a warning from the country’s meteorological department about potential heat-related casualties. Temperatures in northern and eastern India have reached 46 degrees Celsius (114.8 degrees Fahrenheit) this week, AFP reported. A local health official acknowledged heat may have been a factor in the deaths of 25 people on June 16. Later, the Chief Medical Officer of Ballia, Dr. Jayant Kumar, said the spike in deaths was due to “various other ailments,” including old age. Not a single district hospital has been built in the last six years.

An unusually intense heat wave has swept across northern India in the last four days, with some hospitals in the state of Uttar Pradesh recording a higher-than-usual number of deaths. Dozens of deaths were recorded at hospitals there on June 15, 16 and 17. “The number of deaths has been more than normal,” Dr. Kumar said. He told the Press Trust of India, a news agency, that on average, eight people usually die per day. “Most of these are natural deaths,” he told The Times in a phone interview, “most of the dead being elderly people suffering from different ailments like diabetes.”
