People in Delhi's Anand Vihar light fire in winter chill

Braving the cold weather, people were seen sitting near the fire on Sunday in Delhi's Anand Vihar area, to protect themselves from the biting climate.

"I work as a security guard so I have to stay up all night. It is very cold here, we somehow manage to keep ourselves warm," said Suresh, a local.

Amid cold weather and the coronavirus pandemic, scores of people took refuge at a night shelter in the Kashmere Gate area.

Abhijeet, who stays at the night shelter said, "I am from Kolkata and I am living in Delhi since 2016. We get all facilities here including food and medicine."

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday said there is a positive tendency in the maximum temperatures during the past 24 hours over Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Chandigarh, and Delhi.

"Today's observation shows that there is a positive tendency in the maximum temperatures during past 24 hours over Punjab, Rajasthan, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi and therefore Cold Day conditions have abated from these sub-divisions," IMD tweeted.
