In the face of relentless summer heat, the underprivileged labour for survival. Their daily earnings barely cover their needs, and the lack of government support is palpable. The sun leaves them with no respite, and the lack of basic amenities at their workplaces exacerbates their plight. Global climate change, manifesting as intense heatwaves, adds to their woes.
Amidst these adversities, they find solace in the shade of trees, a natural respite rapidly disappearing due to urban development. Their resilience in the face of adversity is a stark reminder of the human cost of global warming.

00:00Thank you.
00:30We are poor and helpless.
00:33We have to work in the summer.
00:36That's all we have.
00:39How much do you earn in a day?
00:41In a day?
00:42If it's too hot, we don't earn anything.
00:44We work hard all day.
00:46We earn Rs. 300-400.
00:48We don't get that much to break a stone.
00:50We don't have a government job.
00:52We don't get that much.
00:54Even the children don't have a government job.
00:56They work for free.
00:58If it's too hot, we can't do anything.
01:01We sit all day.
01:03We can't go home.
01:05The public is suffering in the summer.
01:08If we do something, people die.
01:10Because of the heat.
01:12What can we do?
01:19The problem is that people are suffering in the summer.
01:23If we get food, we don't live.
01:25If we get a place to live, we don't get food.
01:27That's the worst.
01:29The public is dying in the summer.
01:32How can people live in the summer?
01:35Are you here in the hospital?
01:38Yes, I came to show you.
01:40About what?
01:42I have a problem with my voice.
01:44That's why I'm here.
01:46My husband also has a problem.
01:48He's a cancer patient.
01:50That's why I'm here.
01:51How long have you been here?
01:53We've been here for 2-4 days.
01:55It's a matter of a day or two.
01:57But we've been here for 10-15 days.
02:01We've been here for 8-10 days.
02:03We have a problem.
02:05I'm not saying this for myself.
02:07I'm saying this for the public.
02:09We need to do something.
02:11The public is suffering in the summer.
02:14We can't get water here.
02:17When we come here, we have to get up.
02:21We have to get up.
02:23There are problems here.
02:25The hospital staff...
02:27The government police come here.
02:29They lift us up.
02:31Where will they go?
02:33They don't let us sit inside or outside.
02:35That's why everyone here is a hospital staff.
02:39Global climate change is happening all over the world.
02:43The consequences are very strange.
02:46This year, there was a prediction that
02:49heatwaves could have a negative impact on people.
02:56That's why we've created this heatstroke unit
03:00for disaster preparedness.
03:20The heatwaves are causing problems for the workers.
03:25First of all, it's very hot.
03:28The workers have to work in the heat.
03:31Most of the workplaces don't get water.
03:34They don't get ORAs or first aid.
03:36Because of the heat, there's a lot of fire in the city.
03:41A lot of factories are on fire.
03:43It used to happen before, but in the last few weeks,
03:46we've heard more about the fire.
03:49So we need to take strict action.
03:52The government should plant trees.
03:55If there are no trees, the heat will increase.
03:59The development is happening.
04:01Hospitals are being built.
04:03The more trees there are, the less heat there will be.
