- The severe heat in Delhi has reportedly claimed at least 53 lives in the national capital. This week, the Indian Meteorological Department issued a red alert in Delhi, warning of an “extremely high likelihood” of heatstroke and heat illness.
On June 19, the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital in Delhi reported receiving 22 unidentified dead bodies, suspected to be homeless and having died “due to the extreme heatwave condition in the city”. Newslaundry also met two homeless families residing in Old Delhi who claimed that they lost their newborn babies due to heat.
In May, Delhi Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena ordered that construction workers - who are vulnerable to “exertional heatstroke” - be given a three-hour paid leave from 12 pm to 3 pm in view of the heatwave. But Newslaundry found that the order is sparsely implemented.
The workers at Delhi’s two prominent construction sites - the Central Vista Project near India Gate and the Sarai Kale Khan Metro project - alleged that they have not received the three-hour paid leave at all. Most of them were not aware of the order. They told Newslaundry that they have to work 12-hour shifts with only an hour-long break during the day.
“Even on Sunday, we have to work till 2 pm,” said a worker. “What can we do? We all are working here out of compulsion,” said another.

सच में गर्मी इतना है कि पीठ जल गया मेरा😢😢 पसीने से बुरा हाल रहता है😢😢
War rukwa di Papa
Feel bad for workers around me.
Humanity is dead..govt workers should get a paid leave in the afternoon hours and it should be communicated well.
Waheguru ji mehar kro 😢😢😢
Thank you @newslaundry for doing a story that matters so much. Will wait for an update from you.
Such pathetic condition of Indian public 😢😢. No government has ever done anything in proper way for the poor people of India. Saddened to see how crores of Indian still stay on roads even after 70 years of Independence.
How was your dinner? I hope you enjoyed. Hope your wife or family was not saddened when you sat on your arm chair and made this comment. Chill man, you cannot do anything, why feel sad about such things?
@@Robbie_S feeling itself comes if humanity is alive in human. Atleast we can raise our voice for these people so that government do their work properly.
Don't worry, the effects of climate change are coming for you as well.. power cuts will get longer too, so will resource and power scarcity 😅
Ignorance IS bliss
Thank you. Important news. You could have added the excess heat related and heat stress related death in the tagline instead of the 3 hour break.
Wah, finally some news from some one
The Indian government and its apathy. How can any human be so insensitive to not care about the sufferings of humans or any life form.
I don't want to write it but these are tip of the issue we lower class people face at our job and actual conditions are not suitable for human beings at all.
That is why the later generation is afraid of job despite being poor and more afraid to get married or to raise children in today's day and age.
And mind it it's all around the world.
Sab changa si 🙏🙏🙏

Just watched phase change materials video on youtube which can save you from heat stroke and then get recommended by this? What coincidence
But news laundry is made for people like you. RUclips knows it's audience. And you "came" here as always 🤣🤣
You will never leave this channel, because the absurdity in your mind wants to give it views and then comment here. Like a petulant Child, you will always have this channel in your heart 😂😂
Welcome to the club my friend. Shout out and hail to the youtube algorithm.
Remember how the government has been saying for the past decade that we won't invest in climate change mitigation, but just adaptation? Here is the result. Good luck adapting to this.
Hey on ground journalist... Please learn to speak first. Half of your words were not understandable
LG is doing free Advertisement for bjpee 💩😂😂😂
You can't do anything if there is heatwave then still you have to face it
Gov. Kya karegi iska yeh overpopulation ka result hai
Nature khud population Kam kar degi
