For the second day in a row, Monday’s flight and rail schedules in New Delhi, the capital of India, were affected by the heavy fog and cold that shrouded much of the country’s northern region.
According to an unnamed airport official, over 100 flights in Delhi were delayed on Sunday; however, some flights started on Monday morning.
Flightradar24, an aviation database, reports that on Monday morning, at least 168 planes departing from Delhi had delays, and 56 flights were canceled.
Due to heavy fog, at least eighteen trains from various regions of the country were running late to Delhi, according to a railway document cited by news agency ANI, in which Reuters had a minority ownership.
In New Delhi, the national meteorological service predicts’very dense fog’ on Tuesday and ‘dense fog and a cold wave’ on Monday, with a minimum temperature of 4 degrees Celsius (39.2 Fahrenheit).
According to the source, thick fog prevented the city’s Indira Gandhi International Airport from operating on Sunday from 4 a.m. to 10 a.m. (2230 GMT on Saturday to 0530 GMT on Sunday). This caused severe delays at airports around the nation and strained relations.
