The maximum temperatures in Telangana crossed 44°C in April third week and nearing 45°C. The sweltering heat made the State government take measures to prevent heat strokes. The Health department issued an advisory on the precautions to take during the heatwave. The Revenue (Disaster Management) issued a memo on the series of steps to be taken by Collectors and other departments to protect people from the hot weather.
