Dense fog enveloped Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh on Tuesday as the cold wave intensified in the region.
Fog reduced visibility at many places as temperatures fell sharply.
According to PTI, dense fog cloaked Delhi on Tuesday morning, lowering visibility to just 50 metres and affecting road and rail movement.
