On Tuesday (6 January), Kolkata woke up to the coldest day it has witnessed since 2023

While Kolkata’s temperature was at a low of 10.2°Celsius, Howrah recorded a low of 9°
Dinghy rides, a popular winter activity in Kolkata's ghats, came to a halt as no one dared to go out on the river in the chill
A combination of fog and smog meant that visibility, too, was at a low with the other bank of the Hooghly almost invisible from the Kolkata bank
Bonfires, a common feature of winter evenings, were lit early in the morning across various spots of the city as warmth was sought from any source possible
