In Vidarbha, the temperature is 47.7 degree Celsius.

Temperatures across Maharashtra are at an all time high, compelling locals to stay indoors.

People are consuming lemon soda and fruit juices prepared byroadside vendors whose business is roaring in the hot weather.

“My body feels as if it is burning. Evenings are a little better. I don’t want to go out in the sun but I have to,” said Ramesh Hajare, a resident. (ANI)
