NEW DELHI: North India remained in the grip of a severe cold wave on Tuesday, the eve of Christmas, as fresh snowfall blanketed Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and parts of Uttarakhand, while rain lashed areas in Rajasthan and Delhi.
The intense weather conditions disrupted normal life, with roads blocked, water lines frozen, and temperatures plummeting across the region.
Himachal Pradesh witnessed widespread snowfall, affecting higher-altitude areas in districts such as Kinnaur, Lahaul and Spiti, Shimla, Kullu, Mandi, Chamba, and Sirmaur. According to officials, 223 roads, including three national highways, were closed due to heavy snow accumulation. Shimla district bore the brunt with 145 road closures, followed by Kullu and Mandi.
