Due to severe cold, people kept sitting near the bonfire to save themselves from the cold. Some people took shelter in government-run shelter homes to protect themselves from the cold during this season.
Meanwhile, the rehearsal for the Republic Day parade was also affected. The practice took place on the duty path on Wednesday.
People waiting at the airport and railway station had to wait for hours. A passenger at IGIA told ANI, ‘My flight is delayed by more than two hours due to bad weather. However, we cannot blame anyone. We can’t do anything about it.”
While another person waiting at the New Delhi railway station said, “I am traveling to Kerala. My train, Kerala Express, is five hours behind schedule.”
