The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a warning as Bihar continues to grapple with harsh winter conditions, with Patna experiencing unusually low temperatures.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has released a weather alert for the state of Bihar, citing persistent cold temperatures that are affecting daily life across the region.
Patna, the state capital, has recorded temperatures that are below the average for this time of year, prompting the IMD to issue a warning to residents and local authorities.
The prolonged cold spell has led to increased demand for heating and has strained local supply chains for essential goods. Authorities have urged people to stay indoors where possible and to keep warm clothing readily available.
The alert also advises commuters to exercise caution on roads that may become slick or icy, and to check for updates on transportation services that could be disrupted by the weather.
