Jharkhand is currently experiencing a severe cold wave, with temperatures plummeting across the state. The Meteorological Department has issued a chill alert for seven districts, warning residents of extreme weather conditions. Nighttime temperatures are expected to drop significantly, and day temperatures will also remain low, making it difficult for daily activities. Citizens are advised to take necessary precautions to stay warm and avoid prolonged exposure to the cold. Schools in some areas might consider adjustments to timings or holidays due to the harsh weather. This intense cold spell is attributed to dry northwesterly winds blowing into the region, coupled with clear skies. Residents are urged to stay indoors as much as possible, wear warm clothing, and ensure proper insulation in their homes. The cold is impacting daily life, from agriculture to transportation.
