The drop in temperature has caused disruptions to rail, air and road transport across Indian states.
A severe cold wave has gripped many parts of northern India, with temperatures plummeting to -6C in Indian-administered Kashmir. The famous Dal Lake, as seen in the picture above, has partially frozen, making it hard for boatmen to ferry passengers and tourists.Water pipelines have frozen in some parts of Kashmir, road transport has been severely affected and supply chains have been disrupted, making it hard for local communities to meet their daily needs.
Dropping temperatures and dense fog have also disrupted train schedules. India Railways carries some 23 million passengers daily and it's considered the backbone of the country's transport system. Several trains have been running late - sometimes by six to 10 hours - in northern India, throwing people's travel plans into chaos.The cold wave has also been causing serious health issues, especially in Delhi which also sees severe pollution levels during winter months.
