Cold wave continues to grip the northern parts of India even as foggy conditions led to 156 trains being cancelled. Dense fog and low visibility in the early morning hours of Tuesday also hampered train and flight schedules.
In Delhi, the minimum temperature is recorded at 7 degrees Celsius, a notch above normal. The humidity level was 76 per cent. Furthermore, air quality in the national capital remained in 'very poor' category with major pollutants PM 10 at 506 and PM 2.5 at 236, according to the Delhi Air Pollution: Real-time Air Quality Index (AQI).
Several flights are also expected to be delayed due to dense fog. Travellers should check the status of their flight through apps to keep a tab.
Airlines have forewarned passengers of likely delays. Today, SpiceJet has put out an alert message on Twitter on affected flights.
Departures, arrivals and consequential flights might get affected in Jabalpur as well due to bad weather. Moreover, low visibility conditions could affect departures and arrivals in Delhi, Varanasi, Bengaluru, and Patna, tweeted Spicejet.
