Description
Residents of Mungeshpur and adjoining areas in Delhi sweltered on Wednesday as the Indian capital reels under high temperatures. India's government-run weather bureau said a monitoring station located in Mungeshpur recorded 52.9 degrees Celsius (127.2 Fahrenheit) on Wednesday, but later said that the potential national-record-breaking temperature may have been due to a fault in the measuring equipment. "We drank buttermilk, water, and tea, but it was still hot. I covered my head with a cloth, what else can we do? This is an act of God," said Rajbeer Rana, a Mungeshpur resident. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
