Major parts of southern Balochistan, including Quetta, have been caught in the grip of cold waves for the last two days.
People in Quetta, Kalat, Mastung, Chaman, Qila Abdullah and other cities have already raided their stock of warmer clothes to contend with the low temperatures, which the weather department said had gone down to minus two degrees Celsius.
βThe lack of rain and the subsequent drought, which is causing a dry winter has caused many people β especially children β to fall sick,β said an official of the meteorological department.
