In north India, the new year brought with it severe cold. The cold wave hit Punjab and Haryana hard, as the northern power grid tripped twice due to the fog. In New Delhi, the dense fog disrupted flight and railway schedules. Low visibility also caused three separate train accidents in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday; 10 people were killed and 50 others injured.
