JAJARKOT, Nov 30: In a heartbreaking incident in Kushe Rural Municipality, Jajarkot district, a three-year-old child, the daughter of Sunil Badi, succumbed to the harsh cold on Wednesday.

The chairperson of the rural municipality, Hari Chandra Basnet, reported that the child, suffering from pneumonia aggravated by the extreme cold, tragically passed away on the way to the hospital.
