New Delhi, November 11, 2025 — Cold wave conditions continue to prevail across several states in northern India, with temperatures dipping sharply in the early hours. The India Meteorological Department has reported below-normal temperatures in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and parts of Uttar Pradesh, prompting advisories for residents to take precautionary measures against the chill.
Meanwhile, the air quality in Delhi-NCR remains in the ‘severe’ category, with pollution levels crossing hazardous thresholds. Authorities have urged citizens to limit outdoor exposure, particularly vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions. Emergency measures, including restrictions on construction activities and vehicular emissions, have been reinforced to curb worsening pollution.
Officials have emphasized the need for coordinated efforts to address the dual challenges of extreme weather and deteriorating air quality. Public health advisories remain in effect, and monitoring agencies continue to track both temperature trends and pollution levels closely.
The government has reiterated its commitment to safeguarding public health and ensuring that necessary interventions are implemented to mitigate the impact of the cold wave and severe air pollution across affected regions.
