Cold Wave Grips North India After Snowfall In Higher Reaches | Chandigarh News

On this Special Report, India Today’s Aman Bhardwaj reports on the intensifying cold wave across North India following fresh snowfall in the higher reaches. The plunge in temperatures has led to dense fog in the plains, significantly reducing visibility in Chandigarh and surrounding areas. Aman Bhardwaj notes that 'Himachal Pradesh road connectivity and electricity or the water supply have been affected in several areas' while Punjab and Haryana face a return of severe cold conditions. Minimum temperatures have dipped to 5 to 6 degrees Celsius in regions including Bathinda, Ludhiana, Amritsar, and Sirsa. The Meteorology Department has advised citizens to wear warm clothes and remain cautious as a new western disturbance is expected on 27th January, which is likely to make weather conditions even more severe. The report highlights the impact of the chilly weather on daily life and infrastructure across the Shivalik hills and the northern plains.
