Public Works Department (PWD) officials are actively involved in extensive efforts to swiftly clear the snow from the roads as part of ongoing operations, according to the administration.

 

Shimla, the state capital, experienced a brief spell of snowfall on Saturday, bringing delight to locals and tourists in Himachal Pradesh. However, the ongoing snowfall has led to challenging conditions, and authorities are working to address the aftermath.

 

Intense cold wave conditions persist in the rest of Himachal Pradesh, with temperatures remaining one notch below normal. The maximum temperature in the hill state also stayed below normal, and the overall weather remained dry. During the night, Kukumseri recorded the lowest temperature at minus 8.1 degrees Celsius, with Narkanda, Kalpa, Dalhousie, and Manali experiencing chilly conditions at minus 5.6 degrees Celsius, minus 3.7 degrees Celsius, minus 3.1 degrees Celsius, and minus 1.8 degrees Celsius, respectively. Shimla registered a minimum nighttime temperature of 1.8 degrees Celsius.

 

The cold wave conditions extended throughout the North Indian region, with the national capital Delhi recording a temperature of 6.7 degrees Celsius, two notches below normal. Dense fog in several areas continues to disrupt vehicular movement in Delhi. The challenging weather conditions are prompting residents and authorities to take necessary precautions and make preparations for further disruptions.
