Currently, the minimum temperature is hovering between 11 and 12 degree Celsius in most parts of the state, excluding six districts in northwest parts of the state where minimum temperature was recorded at around 9 degree Celsius on Sunday, the official said.

Daltonganj registered the state’s lowest minimum temperature at 9.3 degree Celsius, which was followed by Khunti at 9.4 degree Celsius. Capital Ranchi experienced the minimum temperature at 12.1 degree Celsius.
