December 11, 2016 12:28

Early morning fog engulfed Delhi once again and threw train schedules into disarray even as the Regional Weather Forecasting Centre expected the dense fog to subside from Sunday.

Visibility had dropped to 50 metres at 5:30 am, and was recorded at 300 metres at 8:30 am. Though few domestic flights have been delayed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport, officials maintain that flight operations have not been drastically affected.

Flights are usually affected when visibility drops below 200 metres.

But the fog hit rails services. According to reports, the arrival of 90 trains in Delhi were delayed on Sunday, 28 were rescheduled and 4 others were cancelled due to the fog.
