The movement of several trains is affected as dense fog has engulfed the Delhi-NCR region, causing low visibility. According to Indian Railways, as many as 12 Delhi-bound trains have been delayed by up to two hours.
These include the Poorva Express, Shramjeevi Express, Purushottam Express, Gondwana Express, and Kaifiyat Express. Other trains are Farakka Express, Anvt Humsafar, and S Kranti Superfast Express. Passengers are advised to check the latest status of the trains before arriving at the station to board them.
Amid the ongoing cold wave in Delhi, several flights were also delayed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport. The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) reported a minimum temperature of 12 degrees Celsius in the city.
