Mercury dips to new low in Gujarat

Special Correspondent

AHMEDABAD: Mercury dipped to a record 0.4 degree Celsius at Nalia in Kutch district as most parts of Gujarat continued to experience the worst cold conditions in more than three decades.

Nalia, which has an air base of the Indian Air Force, is always the coolest place in Gujarat but has rarely experienced mercury dipping beyond 4 degree Celsius.

The temperature in Bhuj, district headquarters of Kutch; Palanpur, district headquarters of Banaskantha; and Amreli each recorded around 4 degree Celsius. In Jamnagar, it was 6 degree Celsius and in Ahmedabad and Vadodara it was around 7 degree Celsius.

The continued cold wave has affected normal life even during day time. In late evenings, people prefer to stay indoors and all roads wear a deserted look much before midnight.

The local weather forecast said the cold condition was likely to continue at least for three more days unless snowfall in the north further extended the unprecedented bitter winter.
