The cold wave continued to grip north India on Monday with dense fog and low visibility disrupting normal life. Parts of Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand were cut off from the rest of the country following heavy snowfall. And the meteorological department has predicted no respite.
Punjab witnessed snowfall as far as Pathankot and that too after 40 years. Himachal Pradesh too has been covered in snow. Kangra received snowfall after 35 years; the minimum temperature hovered around freezing point in most places and maximum day temperature plunged to 0.4 degree celsius in Manali.
Kashmir's Dal Lake is frozen and the conditions have worsened in the Valley with power cuts under sub-zero temperatures.
