Dhamtari, 18 November (Udaipur Kiran). Winter has tightened its grip on Chhattisgarh’s Dhamtari district as temperatures continue to fall sharply. Entering the second week of November, the region has come under the influence of a cold wave, with minimum temperatures dipping to 13°C and daytime temperatures hovering around 26°C.
