In UP, cold claims 15 lives in a day, toll touches 55

-The Times of India

The cold snap killed 15 more people across Uttar Pradesh on Friday, taking the toll from it across north India this season to at least 55.

The fresh deaths were reported as the mercury dipped to just a few degrees above freezing point in most parts of the state. Kanpur was the coldest place in the region with a low of two degree C. Lucknow, with a minimum of 2.9 degree C, recorded its lowest temperature in 58 years.

At least 50 people have died of cold in UP alone, forcing the government to allocate around Rs 15 crore for distribution of blankets among the homeless. The process for their distribution is yet to begin in several districts.

Meanwhile, minimum temperatures fell several notches below normal at most places in Punjab and Haryana. In Haryana, Narnaul remained the coldest place with a low of three degree C. Patiala was the coldest place in neighboring Punjab with a low of six degree C.
