Punjab News: Severe heatwave gripping Punjab is presently causing temperatures in key towns like Amritsar, Patiala, Bathinda, and Sangrur to climb between 42 and 45 degrees Celsius (107.6 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit). A considerable number of voters are turning out to cast ballots in the state's 13 Lok Sabha constituencies in today's Lok sabha Election final round, despite the intense heat.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann made a sincere plea to people while casting an early ballot with his wife Gurpreet Kaur and other prominent party figures. Everyone should leave their houses, exercise their right to vote, and select skilled leaders who will act in their best interests, CM Mann advised. His message seemed to be hitting home with voters, as Punjab's voter participation had already reached 46.38% by 3 PM.
