BANG has consitently remained above 35deg for most of MAR and APR will touch 39. This is mainly due to consistent heat wave @ Rayalseema - Anantpur which remained above 40deg since start of MAR. BANG very near to Anantpur heat wave just sweeps in. Another main reason BANG has complete loss of good old heritage trees and lakes. With 3 years of drought situation worsens.
