💨 Abstract

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has urged 11 states to take immediate preemptive measures to protect vulnerable people, including the economically weaker sections, outdoor workers, the elderly, children, and the homeless, from heat-related illnesses due to soaring temperatures. The NHRC highlighted data showing 3,798 heat- and sunstroke-related deaths between 2018 and 2022.
