Train And Flight Cancelled Due to Fog : The flight and train operations were significantly disrupted on Sunday morning in Delhi due to the onset of an exceptionally thick layer of fog that blanketed the national capital. This dense fog, a common occurrence during the winter months in northern India, reduced visibility to near-zero levels in several areas, creating a challenging situation for commuters and travelers alike. Reports indicated that many flights were delayed or canceled as airlines struggled to navigate the hazardous conditions, with runways shrouded in mist making it difficult for pilots to take off and land safely. Similarly, train services were affected, with numerous trains running behind schedule or being diverted, as the Indian Railways implemented safety measures to ensure passenger safety amidst the low visibility.
The city faced cold wave conditions as minimum temperatures dropped on Sunday morning. At 5:30 am, Delhi registered 10 degrees Celsius, compared to 10.2 degrees Celsius the day before, as reported by the India Meteorological Department.
Images from Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport depicted a dense fog covering the area, causing interruptions in flight operations. A total of 139 flights experienced delays, and six were cancelled due to the severe conditions.
"Delhi Airport announced in an advisory on X that although landings and take-offs are ongoing, flights not compliant with CAT III standards may experience disruptions. Passengers are advised to reach out to the respective airline for the latest flight updates. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused."
