India set to face extreme weather conditions, heat wave between April-June, to coincide with Lok Sabha polls

The IMD on Monday warned that India will suffer extreme heat from April to June, with the central and western peninsular regions anticipated to be worst affected. "It is going to be very challenging for all of us. Since we are the most populous country in the world and face extreme weather conditions, it makes it absolutely necessary for India to prepare in advance," the Kiren Rijiju said at a press conference.
