The scorching heat has not only affected humans but has also had a devastating impact on livestock. More than a thousand animals have succumbed to the extreme temperatures over the past three days, leading to significant losses for farmers.
The availability of timely medical assistance for the affected animals remains a critical concern. Farmers are worried about the decline in milk production due to the heatwave.
