Shops remained shut and streets were deserted in Dingucha village of Gujarat's Gandhinagar district on Saturday as villagers paid homage to the four members of a family, who died of the extreme cold near the Canada-US border recently.

Villagers shared the grief of the local Patel family, who lost their four members, including two children, by suspending work and downing the shutters of the shops in the market area, said an office-bearer of the village, which is located around 40 kms from Ahmedabad.
