Cold Wave, Fog Prevail over Northern India

Delhi: Parts of northern India are experiencing a severe, prolonged cold wave that has thrown normal life out of gear.

Dense fog has delayed more than a hundred flights and dozens of trains, causing chaos at airports and railway stations, BBC news reported.

Authorities in the capital Delhihave asked schools to extend winter holidays and cancelled classes.

The minimum temperature in parts of the city dropped to 1.9C on Sunday.

Other northern states have also been grappling with an acute cold wave, with temperatures plummeting to -6C (21F) in Kashmir.

The meteorological department has asked people to “avoid or limit outdoor activities” until weather conditions improve. It has also warned people to be careful while driving through dense fog.
