Trains, flights delayed as north India vanishes under fog blanket
Thick fog threw life out of gear in Delhi on Monday morning. Road, rail and air traffic were all affected — flights were cancelled, trains delayed and those on the roads were not safe. Three people died on the roads of the Capital in the early hours, while two were killed in Greater Noida.
Countless passengers were stuck at the airport and railway stations due to delays.
Things did not look good for Tuesday morning either, with the Met office predicting bad weather for the next few days.
“This was the worst fog of the season in Delhi and adjoining areas,” said B.P.

This condition will prevail for a couple of days.”
