With the change in weather, the temperature has also started increasing gradually. However, this time in February itself, the temperature has started breaking many records. Even though the temperature is falling in the morning and evening, the mercury is rising so much in the afternoon that people are already suffering from the heat.

 

These ups and downs in the weather have already raised the concern of health experts. Meanwhile, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan has written a letter to all the states alerting them about heat-related diseases. He has asked everyone to pay attention to the 'National Action Plan'.
