Young ragpickers jump into the water to beat extreme summer heat in Delhi.
The unforgiving summer heat of the capital, with day temperatures touching a 62-year high of 47.4 degrees Celsius and even night temperatures touching 30 degrees, is affecting man and animal, rich and poor, with each finding innovative and creative ways to beat the heat.
From the high and the mighty who prefer to travel in air-conditioned sedans and limousines to everyday commuters, rickshaw-pullers, labourers and shopkeepers, who don`t have the luxury of air-conditioned offices and cars, all are trying different survival tactics to beat the heat.
