ng new failing with Angular CLI 7.2.1

I recently upgraded Angular CLI to 7.2.1. After upgrade I realized that while creating a new project using

ng new hello-ng-world

The command fails with following error.

npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: CircularJSON is in maintenance only, flatted is its successor.
npm ERR! Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...ource-map":"0.1.x"},"'

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\npm-cache\_logs\2019-01-15T04_01_29_782Z-debug.log
Package install failed, see above.

I checked the log file and found following lines

2298 silly fetchPackageMetaData error for [email protected] Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...","webpack-cli":"^2.0'
....
2316 silly fetchPackageMetaData error for [email protected] Unexpected end of JSON input while parsing near '...82V3Kq5OEdhCZQ8nOUUQ/'

Not able to proceed with the project creation. Please suggest what can be done.

Edit 1: Ng version details (ng --version)

I had to force cache clean to make it work. I used the following command.

npm cache clean --force
