Hundreds of homeless die in New Delhi cold snap
‘Hundreds of people have died in a major cold snap that has struck the Indian capital, New Delhi, as thousands of homeless people struggle to overcome the extreme cold without adequate shelter, Press TV reports.
The development came as northern India has been facing one of its coldest winters in decades, which has claimed lives of nearly 330 homeless folks in New Delhi alone.
Activists say most of the deaths have taken place in northern and central New Delhi while the figure continues to climb due to insufficient night shelters.’
