New Delhi (NVI): The national capital woke up to a chilly morning today after several parts witnessed heavy rainfall and hailstorms, according to IMD.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said rainfall started at around 7:30 am followed by a hailstorm in parts of Delhi which further contributed to fall in temperature.
