झारखंड में भीषण गर्मी और चिलचिलाती धूप के कारण जनजीवन अस्त-व्यस्त है। पिछले 46 साल का रिकॉर्ड टूटने के आसपास है और हीट वेव ऑरेंज अलर्ट जारी किया गया है। पारामान 47.5 डिग्री रिकॉर्ड हो गया है और राहत की उम्मीद 31 मई से है। बारिश की संभावना 1 जून को है, लेकिन भीषण गर्मी के बीच लोगों से सतर्क रहने की अपील की गई है।
