Kashmir Battles Record Heatwave Affecting Health and Agriculture

Kashmir is experiencing an unprecedented heatwave, with temperatures reaching record highs not seen in decades. This intense heat has severely impacted the region's agricultural sector, with farmers like Zaina Begum losing crops due to prolonged dry spells. The sweltering conditions have also led authorities to close schools and colleges. While recent rains offered temporary relief, experts warn that the heatwave is likely to persist, posing ongoing challenges to the region's climate and its people's livelihoods.
