Heatwave death cases: Ninety-nine suspected heatstroke deaths in Odisha, 33 poll personnel dead in Uttar Pradesh and severe water shortage in some parts of the national capital Delhi - India is currently enduring a devastating heatwave.

Inconsistent water supply, rising temperature add to water crisis in Odisha's Mayurbhanj.

In Odisha, Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh, more than 35 per cent of rural households - at least one in four -- have to walk half-a-kilometer to get water, says data from Indian Human Development Survey (IHDS II), which surveyed 42,153 homes.
