North India reels under cold wave
It should be noted here that cold weather conditions continue to prevail across North India, intensifying discomfort for residents. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), temperatures have dropped significantly in many regions, with dense fog and biting winds adding to the chill.
The IMD has reported that cold waves are likely to persist for the coming days, with minimum temperatures remaining below normal in several northern states. The weather office also warned of dense to very dense fog in the early mornings and late evenings, which could impact visibility and disrupt transportation.
States like Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and parts of Rajasthan have experienced severe cold, with many areas recording temperatures close to the freezing point. Residents are advised to stay warm and cautious, especially while travelling during low-visibility periods caused by fog. The IMD has urged people to keep monitoring weather updates and take necessary precautions to stay safe amid the continuing cold wave.
