Surviving extreme heat in India's salt pans

The Manila Times

Surviving extreme heat in India's salt pans  India faces challenging heatwaves each year, but few places endure conditions as searing as the country's western desert salt pans, where workers rely on simple techniques to survive almost unbearable temperatures. Up to 50,000 workers in Gujarat spend eight months on the remote salt pans without electricity or healthcare, relying on a tanker to deliver drinking and washing water every 25 days. “It does hurt. The skin breaks, and sometimes there is bleeding because the salt is very harsh,” salt worker Bhavna Rathore tells AFP.
