On 20 May 2026, during an intense heatwave of around 46°C in Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh’s Bundelkhand region, a bat reportedly collapsed inside the district court complex due to extreme heat and exhaustion.
Lawyers present at the court gathered around the animal and attempted to revive it by giving it water.
The incident drew attention locally as temperatures across Bundelkhand remained dangerously high, highlighting the severe impact of the ongoing heatwave on both people and animals. #Uttar Pradesh
