An early summer has prompted the union health ministry to direct states and union territories (UTs) to share daily updates on heat stroke cases and heatwave deaths.
The data is being monitored by the Integrated Health Information Portal (IHIP) of the National Centre for Disease Control (NDCD).
India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of above-normal maximum temperatures in most parts of the country, especially in northern and central India.
Meanwhile, state and central field officers are being trained in climate-sensitive diseases and issues, heat-related illnesses and its health impact.
