Bengaluru faces rising heat risks from climate change

A new study shows that heat-related deaths could increase in nine major Indian cities, including Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Delhi. This rise is linked to climate change, which is causing higher temperatures and humidity levels. Experts say these conditions could create dangerous heat situations for residents. Current measures to deal with the heat are not enough, and some cities lack effective plans altogether. The study calls for long-term solutions to protect people from the growing risks of extreme heat. Authorities need to take action now to prevent a rise in fatalities in the future.
