Delhi fog delays 12 trains; 40 flights canceled, 4 diverted
Delhi woke up to thick fog on Monday, throwing travel plans into chaos.
Indira Gandhi International Airport saw 40 flights canceled and four more diverted because of super low visibility.
Major airlines sent out alerts to keep flyers in the loop.
Why does this matter?
The fog didn't just mess with flights—12 trains across Northern India ran late, and road traffic slowed down too.
Even with advanced landing tech at the airport, delays were tough to avoid.
Officials urged everyone to double-check their travel status online and leave extra early if heading out.
What are authorities doing?
To handle the mess, the Civil Aviation Minister emphasized the activation of war rooms as part of winter preparedness for better coordination.
The Ministry of Civil Aviation also reminded travelers to stay updated in real time before leaving for airports or stations—just so no one's left stranded or stressed.
