With temperatures set to soar next month, Indian authorities need more resources and better preparation to deal with searing heat particularly for the most vulnerable communities around the country, a New Delhi-based think tank said. Analyzing 37 regional and federal heat action plans, the Centre for Policy Research found this week that the plans are not updated regularly, don’t have separate budgets in most cases, have no legal support to implement them and the most vulnerable populations in any given region are not identified in the plans. Heat plans started springing up around the nation after blistering heat waves surpassing 48 degrees Celsius (118 degrees Fahrenheit) in 2010 killed over 800 people in the northwestern city of Ahmedabad.

A portion of County Road 98 in LaFayette, Alabama, was closed after a bridge collapsed into Chatahospee Creek following heavy rain and flooding in the area on March 27.Myles Welch recorded this video, and told Storyful he and his father were driving around looking at flood damage when they noticed the sign for the bridge had fallen off.“So we stopped and got out. That’s when we saw the ground was gone under the road,” he said. “Then the pavement started cracking and that’s when I started videoing the road.”In the video, someone can be heard saying “there it goes” as the last piece of road connecting the bridge falls into the muddy water.The Chambers County Commission issued an “impassable travel advisory” on March 27, advising the public that all roads and bridges “should be considered impassable until further notice.” The advisory was later lifted, but a dozen roads remained closed, including a section of County Road 98.
