Dense fog in north India
Dense fog blanketed north India including the Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) region, reducing visibility to near zero and causing delays to over 150 flights and around 26 trains.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning for moderate to very dense fog in several parts of North India, including Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.
In recent weeks, thick fog in North India has led to the cancellation or delay of hundreds of flights and trains.
