India’s Heat Deaths: Discrepancies Obscure the True Toll

It's hard to know exactly how many people in India die from the heat because the numbers don't all match up.

Different groups count deaths differently, and some deaths aren't even recorded.

This makes it difficult for the government to help people and for everyone to understand how serious the problem is.

The current system of collecting this data is old, with manual input which makes accurate reporting harder.

Experts are asking for better data to help save lives.
