Dense fog has caused travel chaos in India's capital Delhi, with dozens of flights and trains affected.
Report say 50 flights and nearly two dozen trains have been delayed.
According to the flight tracking app flightradar24, hundreds of departing flights were delayed by 25 minutes on an average and flight arrivals were delayed by eight minutes.
Dense fog is common in Delhi and the rest of north India during winters, but the cold in Delhi this season has tumbled many records.
An IMD report says Delhi has experienced the coldest January in 13 years with maximum temperature recorded at 17.7C. The second coldest January was nine years ago - in 2015 - when a maximum temperature of 17.9C was recorded in the city. Nights too have been coldest this year after 2013, the report adds.
