More than 130 people have died in a cold spell sweeping across northern and eastern India as dense fog disrupted rail and air services in the region, dpa cited news reports as saying Monday.
Twenty five people lost their lives in intense cold or fog-related accidents in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh over the weekend, government-run All India Radio reported.
The death toll in the state due to low temperatures had mounted to 124 during December, the report said. Churk town in Mizrapur was the coldest in the state, recording a low of 0.5 degrees Celsius.
Twelve more cold-related deaths were reported from the eastern state of Bihar, national capital Delhi and neighbouring Haryana state, which were also reeling under the cold spell, media outlets said.
