On one hand where cold weather and fog has disrupted normal life and brought the traffic on the road to a virtual halt, farmers in Amritsar were happy with the weather as it is proving beneficial for the standing wheat crop.

Farmers said that the decline in mercury and widespread fog in various parts of the state has lightened up the prospects of good production of wheat this year.

"The fog is beneficial for us. We are happy that this fog would result in good wheat yield. The quality of the wheat will be enhanced," said Jasmeet Singh, a farmer.
