Fighting for survival: Climate change-fuelled heat pushes poor women to limits of endurance
Thursday, 27 June 2024 () Amid India's scorching summer, women across rural and urban areas endure severe heat stress, impacting their health and incomes disproportionately. From Delhi to rural Chhattisgarh, extreme temperatures exacerbate existing hardships, affecting livelihoods in sectors like waste picking and agriculture, while amplifying health risks like dehydration and exhaustion, especially for marginalized communities.
Less than a year after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the Rajkot International Airport (RIA) at Hirasar village, a section of the roof canopy in the terminal’s passenger drop and pickup area collapsed following heavy rain on Saturday. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and airport operations were not affected. This incident follows a similar roof collapse at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport after record rainfall. The temporary terminal, still under construction, experienced a canopy failure due to water accumulation. RIA officials are conducting an inquiry and will submit a detailed report to the Airports Authority of India (AAI).
