Delhi's Water Crisis Deepens Amid Heatwave and Political Blame Game

Delhi's poorest residents are suffering the worst effects of a severe heatwave, with temperatures reaching a record 49.9 degrees Celsius. The extreme heat has exacerbated water shortages, forcing the government to ration water deliveries. Many, like mother-of-six Poonam Shah, struggle to secure enough water for their families, while others, such as street vendors, must work in the scorching sun to survive. The crisis highlights the urgent need for climate adaptation strategies to protect vulnerable populations.
