North India is in complete grip of cold wave with the national capital also struggling with rising pollution.

According to System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting and Research (SAFAR), Delhi's overall air quality on the morning of December 24 was 450 which puts it in the 'severe' category.

Due to thick layers of fog, visibility in multiple areas of the national capital was extremely reduced.

One of the locals said, "Consumption of hot water early in the morning will help in battling with this weather." Indian Meteorological Department has observed dense fog conditions in isolated pockets over Delhi.
