India's capital, Delhi, has recorded its highest-ever temperature, reaching a scorching 49.9 degrees Celsius (121.8 Fahrenheit) amid a severe heatwave affecting the region.
This unprecedented heat has led to widespread water shortages, with the local government imposing water rationing to manage the crisis. Areas across Delhi are struggling with varying levels of water access, with some localities having no water at all.
