Extreme heat in India has killed at least seventy seven people over the past ten days, including dozens of poll workers, as voting wrapped up in the world's largest general election.
India has endured a scorching summer with a part of the capital of Delhi, recording the country's highest ever temperature of 49.9 degrees last week.
At least 33 poll workers died in a single day in India's most populous state of Uttar Pradesh.
Since May 24, another 24 people died in the capital Delhi and across other eastern and western states.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change noted that India is among the countries expected to be worst affected by the climate crisis.
