Europe is sweltering under a heatwave, with temperatures averaging 5.5°F above normal and cities such as Paris and Madrid topping 100°F. The heat, driven by an omega block, has been linked to more than 40 deaths in France https://t.co/O9KIzxexIl

The problem with digitising land records is that it enables only the powerful to use data to their advantage leaving marginalised communities behind, say MDU V-C Milap Punia & Asst Prof Ravi Kiran in The Tribune @thetribunechd #TheTribuneOpinion

New insights into the changing patterns of heat waves, particularly the duration and frequency that is increasing and indicating the severe impact of climate change on human health and on economic activities. It also brings out gaps in governance. @OfficialMdu @jnu

[Down To Earth @down2earthindia]

#Opinion We survived the Sun for centuries. Why is it killing us now? A genuinely effective heat governance framework must integrate meteorological early warning, community-level behavioural outreach, urban planning reform, and occupational health protections into a unified, year-round system, one rooted as much in local knowledge as in institutional capacity.

An Important Interaction of the Hon’ble Vice-Chancellor with Dainik Jagran

[ANI @ANI]

#WATCH | Delhi | Divisional Fire Officer Rajinder Atwal says, “The ambient temperature in Delhi is around 45 degrees, which is extremely high. With the onset of summer, the electrical load rises because people run cooling equipment. As the heat intensifies, the duration of usage increases as well… Naturally, if a machine runs continuously, its moving parts will heat up… This applies to everything, from home air conditioners to commercial setups with ovens or large freezers. The underlying issue is often carelessness… While maintaining 24-hour cooling in hospitals is a necessity, we must also prioritise maintenance, such as regular AC servicing and electrical audits. A common scenario is installing an AC using existing wiring that wasn't originally designed for such a load, and then adding even more appliances later, thereby further increasing the electrical strain… In many common residential areas, a critical issue that arises during a fire is that emergency vehicles cannot reach the site because there is no dedicated parking space, forcing residents to park on the street… There have been many instances where fires started due to short circuits in electric meter boards or while charging vehicles on the stilt floor; sometimes, the water pump motors installed there also short-circuit, potentially igniting a fire during the night…”
