Gurugram, May 22 -- As scorching conditions persist in Gurugram, with the maximum temperature remaining above 40degC for four consecutive days, outdoor labourers and gig workers who spend long hours in the sun are finding it hard to cope.

With the authorities yet to set up temporary resting sheds, workers said their resting spots during long shifts are restricted to business parks, green belts and labour canteens across the city.

The city recorded a maximum temperature of 42degC on Thursday, two degrees lower than the previous day, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Over the past two days, the mercury rose sharply to 43.7degC on Tuesday before touching the season's high of 44degC on Wednesday.
