Kalaburgi, May 27: Karnataka's Kalaburgi district recorded a maximum temperature of 44 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, as per information provided by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
In light of the increasing mercury levels, people here were seen consuming sugarcane juice and cold drinks to beat the heat. Animals and birds could also be seen searching for water for relief from the scorching sun.
Locals of the area requested the district administration to take necessary actions such as spraying water on roads, in order to bring down the temperatures.
"We are facing huge heat waves in this district from the past two days, and even the temperature is around 44 to 45 degrees on a daily basis. So, it is a very alarming situation in Kalaburgi. When we move around the city, we are unable to find water and fresh fruit juice, and even if fresh juice is available, we are afraid of getting infected by COVID-19," said one local.
"If we carry cold water, it gets warm within half an hour, and gets unfit for drinking, and it is tough for us. I request the district administration to look into this matter and do the needful such as spraying water on the roads, etc. for slightest relief," he added.

I could not understand people are so mad of film actor/actresses. this is mainly in Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andhra. they will watch movie at any cast even if they have to be hungry. they think Film actor/actress as special creatures. Few actors are even worshipped as God. They dont understand that these filmy people make money from ordinary public and live lavishly. They earn in crores whereas common man struglles for single rupee. What a shame.
