Mercury slides to 7 degree Celsius in Mizoram

Mizoram shivered under a cold wave as the mercury slid to a low of seven degree Celsius today with showers adding to the misery.

The temperature sharply decreased from yesterday's high of 20.3 and a low of 9.1 degree Celsius, state Science and Technology directorate sources said.

People wore woollens and were huddled before fireplaces and electric heaters at home to beat the cold.
