Don’t forget birds & animals

Apart from human safety, PM Modi also spoke about protecting birds and stray animals struggling in the scorching heat. He urged people to place bowls of water outside homes, balconies, shops, and offices to help thirsty animals survive the summer.

"A small bowl of water kept outside your home… can become a lifeline for a thirsty bird," he wrote, adding that compassion should guide everyone during these extreme weather days.
