India's northern states to combat severe cold wave conditions for next two days
Cold wave to continue in north India for next two days
As the cold wave continues to batter north Indian states, accompanied by dense fog, there is no news of relief from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD). The IMD director stated that the cold weather would continue to prevail in Delhi and neighbouring states for the next two days.
The IMD has stated that the day temperatures will plunge due to cold north-western winds travelling through the plains. For the next two days, parts of north India will receive reduced sunshine due to foggy weather, said the report.
"Dense fog conditions will remain in parts of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and other parts of the country. It will continue for the next two days," stated IMD.
