Delhi recorded a temperature of 7.4 degrees Celsius at 5:30 on Saturday morning. People are turning to a variety of tactics to stay warm as the cold becomes worse. A group of people are gathered around bonfires to combat the cold, while some are looking at night shelters.
In addition to the chilly weather, a layer of fog has descended upon the nation’s capital, compounding the issues facing the populace. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported that the minimum temperatures have dipped to between 5-10 degrees Celsius in most parts of Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, North Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh.
In Delhi’s Nizamuddin area, a group of people, including two security guards, Rakesh Kumar and Mohammad Nausad, were seen huddled around a bonfire. Both guards noted a significant increase in the cold compared to previous days. “The cold has increased significantly compared to before,” Rakesh Kumar told ANI. “The cold has been intensifying for the past two days. The cold is severe, hence the need for the fire. The cold has indeed increased a lot compared to before,” Mohammad Nausad told ANI.
