Videos showing people lending a hand amid the heatwave had gone viral before also. A clip showing a Maharashtra police officer giving water to a thirsty monkey made the rounds on social media last month.
Severe heatwave conditions have been reported from several parts of India since the beginning of March. Over the past two months, maximum temperatures in west Rajasthan and Vidarbha in Maharashtra have remained between 40 degrees and 45 degrees Celsius.
If the highest temperature recorded in a region reaches at least 40 degrees Celsius or more in the plains and at least 30 degrees Celsius or more in hilly regions, the region is regarded as hit by a heatwave.
