A severe cold wave has tightened its grip on large parts of northern India, with temperatures hovering near zero in several states.
On Thursday, the capital Delhi recorded its coldest morning so far this winter, with the temperature dropping to 2.9C.
In neighbouring Haryana state, temperatures in some areas reportedly fell to under 1C, with pictures of frost-covered cars and bikes going viral on social media.
The cold weather has persisted for four days and is expected to continue until Friday, according to the weather department.
A cold wave is defined as minimum temperatures falling below 4C in the plains of northern India.
