Flight and rail services across large parts of North India were disrupted this morning, as dense fog conditions prevailed over several states, severely reducing visibility and affecting normal movement. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of dense fog and cold wave-like conditions across the region. Rail services were hit badly, with many trains running several hours behind schedule and some being diverted.

Flights in multiple cities, including Delhi, were also delayed. According to railway officials, more than four dozen trains are running behind schedule due to dense fog across northern India. Train speeds have been reduced as a safety measure, leading to major inconvenience for passengers. The impact of adverse weather was equally visible in air traffic operations. Several airlines, including SpiceJet, Air India and IndiGo, issued travel advisories for passengers, cautioning them about possible delays.

Both airlines and railway authorities urged passengers to check the status of their flights and trains before leaving for stations or airports. Delhi Airport administration has warned that flight schedules could change due to low visibility conditions. More than 10 flights were reported to be operating behind schedule at the Delhi airport.
