JAMSHEDPUR – A severe cold wave swept through Jharkhand on Thursday, with Jamshedpur recording a minimum temperature of 9.6°C as winter made its presence felt across the state.
The Steel City witnessed one of its coldest days this season. The sudden temperature drop caught many residents off guard.

Impact Across Districts
Daltonganj emerged as the coldest spot in Jharkhand. The city recorded a bone-chilling 7.9°C.
