Four passengers on the Kerala Express headed home have died in Uttar Pradesh over the last 24 hours, a railway official said on Tuesday. The deaths, the official said, had been attributed by doctors to the extreme heat wave in north India. They were part of a 67-member group travelling in two coaches, said Manoj Kumar Singh, railway spokesman in Jhansi. The train ticket examiner (TTE) informed the Jhansi control room of their condition and requested medical assistance. In Uttar Pradesh, Prayagraj and Banda recorded 48.9 and 49.2 degree Celsius temperature on Monday.
