But on April 25, the temperature rose to 40.4°C. Since then, the temperature rose to 42°C in just two days. Due to the hot weather, most of the streets and markets in the city wear a deserted look. The citizens avoid stepping out between 11 am and 4 pm. Despite the sun going down in the evening, the severity of heat continues in the night.

No load shedding provides relief

Citizens had to face inconvenience due to load shedding. However, since April 22, the MSEDCL has been providing uninterrupted and smooth power supply to all consumers and agricultural pumps for eight hours day and night as per schedule. The uninterrupted power supply was maintained even on Wednesday and no load shedding was done anywhere, informed MSEDCL.
