Not only is there a lack of signage and markings on Delhi roads, but at many points along the stretch, the street lights are off as well. So we drive with trucks not keeping their lane and almost no visibility! #delhifog pic.twitter.com/3hzckjlsyY

Please people, look around at the stray animals around you – dogs especially – they’re freezing just as you are. Can you provide bedding /blankets for the strays around you? They’re so very cold. Anything torn/rejected lying in your house will help them! #delhiwinter

Comparing the cold of Delhi with that of hill stations, a Twitter user wrote, “Delhi winter has chosen to give Shimla a serious run for its money. Bas barf ki kami hai”. Another person said, “Delhi making sure to make every kashmiri this winter feel at home”.

While people poked fun at the dropping temperatures, many also used the hashtag to talk about how winters can be especially harsh for the underprivileged and asked for better infrastructure for the homeless.
