Cold weather has killed nine homeless people in India, bringing the death toll from three weeks of near-freezing temperatures to 116.
Police say the worst-hit state is Uttar Pradesh where about 90 people, mostly poor and homeless, have died during the cold spell sweeping northern India.
Police spokesperson Surendra Srivastav said at least nine people died overnight on Tuesday. Ten people have died in neighboring Bihar state, 10 in the Indian capital New Delhi, and six in Jharkhand state since late December.
Dense fog affected railway schedules as more than 30 trains were cancelled in Uttar Pradesh. Almost all flights from the main airport in the state capital of Lucknow have been cancelled.
Temperatures have dipped below three degrees Celsius. — Sapa-AP
