Mahindra's statement comes at a time when New York and New Jersey have been placed under a severe cold warning. This situation arose when extremely cold winds from the Arctic region affected the northeastern parts of the US. The National Weather Service warned that such cold could cause serious health damage. The agency said that there is a risk of frostbite and hypothermia and advised people to limit their exposure to the outdoors, wear layers of warm clothing, and protect exposed parts and pipes, as reported by local media outlet Pix 11.
