6 Cities In India Freezing Under The Cold Wave

The cold wave continues to grip north and northwest India. In some places, the Indian Meteorological Department has also issued an orange alert and added those places will continue to experience cold wave conditions in the upcoming days. The shivering conditions and low visibility have made stepping out a risky endeavour for residents of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

IMD has predicted parts of Delhi, Uttarakhand, Chandigarh, Haryana, Punjab and western Rajasthan will experience dense fog in the next five days. According to the IMD reports, “Amid a cold wave prevailing in North India, Rajasthan’s Bikaner recorded a minimum temperature of 0°C and Madhya Pradesh’s Nowgong, Chhatarpur district recorded 0.2°C."

Here are some places in North India, where the temperature dropped to a single digit:
