Doordarshan anchor Lopamudra Sinha collapsed live on air during a live broadcast on scorching heatwave in West Bengal. Sinha, based in Kolkata, shared her story on Facebook, revealing her blood pressure dropped drastically during the broadcast. Despite feeling unwell beforehand, she soldiered on, hoping a glass of water would help. However, due to the demanding nature of the broadcast, she couldn't hydrate in time, leading to her worsening condition during the heatwave segment. Sinha described losing vision and slurring her speech before blacking out. The incident underscores the challenges faced by broadcasters and the need for better support during extreme weather conditions.
