Two people have died due to bitter cold wave accompanied by dipping mercury in Mahottari district, taking the death toll in the district to 6 so far, according to District Police Office, Mahottari.

Mishri Yadav, 60 of Matauliya-4 and Binod Chaudhary of Aurahi-3 are the latest victims of extreme cold wave in the Terai, police said.

Normal life in the eastern Terai region has been affected due to chilly snap coupled with thick fog for the past few days.

Movement of people in the eastern Terai districts has also gone down due to thick fog and sliding mercury.

Dozens of elderly, sick and children die due to hypothermia caused by cold wave in Terai districts every year. Although they die due to lack of warm clothes and proper homes to shield away the cold wave, the government has done little in this regard to save the lives of the people in Terai. nepalnews.com
