In Delhi, fog disrupts rail and air traffic as a cold wave sweeps over North India
Delhi had significant disruptions to air and train transportation on Sunday due to a dense fog covering the nation’s capital.
Numerous flights were either canceled or delayed as a result of the fog.
In addition, the heavy fog caused eleven trains from various areas of the nation to arrive late in Delhi.
At three in the morning, there was zero visibility at Delhi IGI Airport.
Strong cold wave conditions have been plaguing north India, causing thick fog to obscure vision and interfere with air and train travel.
Parts of the nation saw fog: Isolated pockets of very thick fog were seen in Delhi, north Haryana, West Uttar Pradesh, and West Madhya Pradesh; similarly, isolated pockets of Punjab, northwest Haryana, West Rajasthan, East Madhya Pradesh, and Bihar also saw very dense fog.
