In Noida, too, more than 14 people have died in the last 24 hours due to suspected heat stroke, the health department said. A 70-year-old man from Bihar who had missed his train and was roaming in the station was another victim of heat stroke. Most of these patients are suffering from electrolyte deficiency, heat stroke, fever of more than 105 degrees and extreme dehydration.
