The cold spell has particularly affected the elderly, children and the poor people who do not have warm clothes and live in makeshift houses.
The number of people suffering from cold diarrhoea, cough and cold, typhoid, pneumonia and respiratory diseases has increased in the district with the increasing cold, according to local hospitals in these districts.
