Kerala's state government has opened dedicated heatstroke clinics and issued public health warnings as a surge in sunstroke cases prompts urgent action. Health Minister Veena George called on residents to avoid outdoor exposure between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when ultraviolet radiation levels are at their peak. The measures highlight growing concern about extreme summer heat in Kerala (a densely populated coastal state in southwestern India), where multiple heat-related incidents have been recorded in recent days.
