Cold wave unrelenting

CHANDIGARH JAN. 21. An unrelenting cold wave and dense fog across Punjab and Haryana hit normal activity and traffic movement as the mercury plummeted to 2 degrees Celsius in Amritsar and Hisar, while Kashmir valley reeled under sub-zero temperatures. Delhi, too, reeled under intense cold with the temperature at four degrees Celsius even as dark clouds and fog engulfed the capital throwing air traffic out of gear as visibility was reduced to 200 metres.

Some trains coming to Delhi were delayed by hours forcing the authorities either to reschedule or cancel some of them.
