JAMSHEDPUR – The state of Jharkhand is grappling with severe heat conditions, with Baharagora hitting a high of 45.2 degrees Celsius, marking one of the hottest temperatures recorded in the region.

Abhishek Anand, a scientist at the Jharkhand Meteorological Centre, has stressed the importance of taking preventive measures against heat stroke as the region battles persistent high temperatures.
