Cold Wave Disrupts Trains
Several trains arriving and departing from Delhi were delayed due to reduced visibility caused by heavy fog in the region. The dense fog has been causing major disruptions to rail traffic across North India, affecting train schedules throughout the day. According to reports, many trains were running behind schedule by three to six hours, with some even rescheduled to manage the cascading delays.
As visibility remained poor throughout the morning, train operations were severely impacted, and several services had to be cancelled. Passengers were left stranded or forced to deal with last-minute schedule changes as the railway authorities struggled to cope with the situation.
The dense fog, which has been a recurring issue in the region for the past few days, continues to wreak havoc on transportation, especially affecting train travel, which is highly dependent on visibility. The delays have caused widespread inconvenience to passengers, particularly those with time-sensitive commitments.
