North India Shivers, Death Toll Touches 39
New Delhi: The entire North India shivered today as 11 more people succumbed to the intense cold sweeping the region pushing the death toll to 39.
Dense fog and dipping temperatures threw normal life out of gear at several places as nine deaths occurred in Punjab and two in Uttar Pradesh since last evening.
The death count from the harsh weather has risen to 30 in Uttar Pradesh where Fatehgarh with a minimum temperature of 3.9 degrees was the coldest place in the state.
The national capital woke up to a thick blanket of fog which reduced the visibility to almost zero in some areas and disrupted rail and air traffic.
Visibility dropped below 50 metres and to almost zero in Palam area while it was around 200 metres at Safderjung, the Meteorological Department said.
Some Delhi-bound and outgoing flights were delayed due to low visibility. Dense fog also hit rail services in the region with over 40 trains running behind schedule, a Railway spokesperson said.
The minimum temperature in Delhi was five degrees Celsius, three notches below normal, while the maximum settled at 21.9 degrees, a notch below normal.
