    Trains affected due to fog

    Approximately 20 trains were delayed at the New Delhi Railway Station due to the low visibility and thick layer of fog covering the national capital this morning. On Wednesday, the Delhi Airport released another statement saying that flights were being diverted or were returning to Delhi due to bad weather in Chandigarh, Varanasi, and Lucknow.

    Night bus services suspended in Noida

    With the foggy winter that has hit northern India, and the thick fog causing several accidents, authorities have decided to halt the Noida depot bus services until 7:00 am from 9:00 pm. The decision was made amid the increasingly foggy conditions, and the authorities have also resolved to call-off reservation service for night bus journeys for the next month.

    Punjab revises school timings

    Bhagwant Mann, Punjab Chief Minister, announced on Tuesday that all schools across the state would open at 10 am till January 21 amid the foggy winters. However, CM Mann confirmed the closing time of all schools would stay the same. Notably, schools in Punjab usually start at 9 am and close at 3 pm.

    More states change school timings

    Schools in UP's Ghaziabad also revised their timings due to the dense fog. Classes from 1 to 12 will now start at 9 am from Wednesday onwards. The changes have also received approval from the Secondary Education Council, UP Prayagraj. All schools affiliated with Madrasa Education Board, ICSE, CBSE, Sanskrit, and council schools approved the timings.
