Cold wave sweeps Uttarakhand

Dehra Dun: Cold wave swept parts of
Uttarakhand today with temperatures in most parts of the state
hovering below two to three degree Celsius, Met office said.

In the hill resorts of Mussoorie, Nainital and Almora,
people chose to remain indoors on the first day of the new
year due to intense cold.

Dehra Dun registered four degree Celsius, which is two
degree below normal, Met director Anand Sharma said.

Due to moisture in the air, fog would envelop the plain
areas in the state and the cold is likely to intensify
further, he said.
