A severe hailstorm hit different districts in upper Assam especially Moran in Dibrugarh District.
Fresh pictures of roads covered in white after a hailstorm lashed parts of the Dibrugarh district going viral on social media.
As ice accumulated on the bus highway, disrupting traffic, it turned many acres of cultivated land, as well as the roads, into a carpet of white.
The thick layer of ice on the road slowed traffic, and many people flocked to the streets to take in the white natural beauty.
The temperature dropped even further, with the Indian Meteorological Department forecasting more rain in northeastern states.
