A thick blanket of fog enveloped the Delhi-NCR region, reducing visibility to near zero in many areas. The dense fog disrupted daily life, creating hazardous conditions for commuters and travelers alike. Visuals from near the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport showcased the extent of the fog, with runways and roads barely visible.

The dense fog severely affected transportation across Delhi-NCR. Multiple flights were delayed or diverted at the IGI Airport, causing inconvenience to passengers. Train services were also disrupted, with many running late due to low visibility. On the roads, vehicular traffic moved at a snail’s pace, with drivers struggling to navigate through the foggy conditions. The situation led to traffic jams and increased chances of accidents.
