Faridabad: Cold has now slowly started showing its effect in Haryana. The chill is clearly felt in the morning and evening air. In many districts, mist and fog have spoiled the daily routine of the people. The sun shines during the day, which provides some relief, but there is humidity in the air and increasing pollution. Because of this it becomes difficult to see far. The day temperature in most parts of the state remains around 24-25 degrees Celsius. The temperature drops rapidly at night. There is dense fog on the roads in the morning. Especially in the districts of South Haryana like Faridabad and Gurugram. It becomes difficult for drivers to see the road. Areas of North and Central Haryana like Ambala, Rohtak, Hisar are also struggling with fog and cold winds.
The situation in Sonipat and Panipat was even more challenging. Visibility was very low here in the morning. At some places in Sonipat, it seemed impossible to see even 10 meters ahead.
