झारखंड के पश्चिमी और उत्तरी भाग में शीतलहर लोगों को परेशान कर रही है। हिमालय से आ रही सर्द हवा के कारण ठंड बढ़ी है। चतरा, गढ़वा, पलामू, लातेहार, लोहरदगा आदि जिलों में कड़ाके की ठंड है। पिछले 24 घंटों में चतरा जिला सबसे ठंडा रहा, जहां न्यूनतम तापमान 5.5 डिग्री सेल्सियस था। अगले दो दिनों में इन इलाकों में शीतलहर का प्रकोप जारी रहेगा। यहां सर्द और कुहासे के चलते लोग परेशान हैं। दो दिनों बाद आंशिक बादल छाएंगे, लेकिन ठंड से राहत नहीं मिलेगी। प्रदेश में दिन भर ठंड रही है और तापमान सामान्य से 3 डिग्री कम है। मैकलुस्कीगंज में न्यूनतम पारा 5 डिग्री रहा और वहां बसे गांवों में जमीं ओस की बूंदों के बर्फ बनने की चर्चा हो रही है।
