New Delhi: Northern India was today reeling under winter's chilly onslaught with the region also hit by dense fog that threw rail and flight schedules into disarray.
Residents in the national capital woke up to icy winds sweeping the city today even as fog delayed 52 trains. The maximum temperature was recorded four notches below the season's average at 16.3 degrees Celsius while the minimum settled a notch below normal at 6.8 degrees.
The minimum yesterday was recorded at 7.2 degrees. According to Northern Railways, 52 trains, almost all of them north-bound ones, including premier trains like Rajdhani and Duronto Express, were delayed by several hours due to adverse conditions. However, flight operations remained smooth at Delhi airport, officials said. Jammu and Kashmir was grappling with the biting cold wave even as Kargil, in the frontier Ladakh region, continued to be the coldest recorded place in the state, registering the lowest temperature of the season so far at -17.2 degrees, down from the -16.6 degrees the night before.
