The unrelenting heat has disrupted daily life across the Union Territory, particularly in the plains of Jammu region, where temperatures have breached the 44°C mark in several areas. Even the usually cooler Kashmir Valley is witnessing unusually warm days, sparking concern among residents, health authorities, and environmental experts alike.
In Jammu, mercury levels have consistently remained between 42°C to 45°C for the past week. The cities of Samba, Kathua, and Udhampur are facing particularly harsh conditions, with power outages and water shortages adding to the woes of the public. Authorities have issued heatwave alerts, urging people to stay indoors during peak hours, avoid strenuous outdoor activity, and stay hydrated.
