Several cities of Uttar Pradesh continue to grapple with cold and fog on Wednesday. The India Meteorological Department tweeted on Wednesday, “very dense fog observed in many places over Haryana, Punjab, west UP, sub-Himalayan west Bengal and Sikkim.” Even the iconic Taj Mahal was not visible from a distance as a thick blanket of fog shrouded the landmark. A tourist said, “The Taj Mahal is not visible from a distance. One has to get closer to the landmark for it to be clearly visible”.
People were seen huddling around bonfires in the streets of Lucknow and Agra. Amid dense fog and cold wave, several trains were reported to be running late in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur on Wednesday.
