After a summer win, India's Gen Z protesters face a winter of uncertainty

A new wave of youth dissent swept India this summer, fuelled by frustration and irreverent online satire.

Winter weather makes roads dangerous, increases the risk of power loss, and can cause cold-related injury during outages. Stranded vehicles are a common hazard.

This report is based on information from BBC World, monitored by Alert USA's verified emergency feed.

Expect a high chance of travel disruptions, elevated power-outage risk, and heating stress during any extended loss of service.

Recommended steps: avoid non-essential travel; keep heat sources clear and ventilated; have blankets and a way to charge a phone; check on family and neighbors.

Alert USA is tracking this winter storm and will update this report as verified information becomes available.
