Minimum temperature was recorded 11.2 degrees Celsius in Rangpur at 9.00am today (Tuesday). On Monday, it was 11.8 degrees Celsius.
People were seen warming themselves in the morning after setting fire on husks beside the roads.
The pressure of patients suffering from cold-related diseases has increased in the hospitals.
