Cold wave gripped much of north India on Tuesday, as a dense blanket of fog settled over large swathes of the Ingo-Gangetic plains, blocking out the sun and keeping the mercury levels low. The Met department predicted the conditions will persist over the region for the next few days. The weather department also issued an orange alert due to the cold wave outbreak in the region. According to R K Jenamani, senior scientist at the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), fresh cold wave conditions are likely to prevail again from 31st December-1st January. #northindiaweatherupdate #coldwave #cnbctv18 #businessnews #businessnewstoday #businessnewsinenglish #sharemarkettoday About CNBC-TV18: India's leading business news channel, CNBC-TV18 offers the most comprehensive coverage of businesses, the economy and the financial markets.
