Meanwhile, Uttarakhand is in the grip of severe cold wave.

The intensity of cold has increased with the night temperature coming down below normal in hilly areas. One person reported killed in Nainital due to cold.

In Uttar Pradesh, severe cold conditions continued, but the bright sunshine yesterday brought some relief. Shallow fog at many places in the state caused late running of several trains.
