Snowfall in Kashmir’s Gulmarg and Sonmarg has intensified cold conditions in Madhya Pradesh. Dense fog has engulfed the northern parts of the state, reducing visibility to as low as 50 metres in some areas.
On Monday, Datia and Rewa were the most affected, where extremely low visibility disrupted both road and railway movement. Dense fog prevailed across 22 districts of the Gwalior, Chambal, Rewa, Sagar, Jabalpur and Shahdol divisions.
In addition, cold wave conditions were reported in districts such as Gwalior, Morena, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Satna, Rewa and Sidhi, worsening the chill.
Moderate fog was observed in Bhopal, Indore, Ujjain, Sehore, Raisen, Vidisha, Shajapur and Agar-Malwa, among other cities.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), December 24 and 25 are expected to remain mostly clear. Fog may persist at a few locations, but the cold intensity is likely to increase further, especially during night and early morning hours.
The state’s only hill station, Pachmarhi, recorded the lowest temperature, with the mercury dipping to 4.6°C, making it the coldest place in Madhya Pradesh.
