NEW DELHI:

Dense to very dense fog conditions were reported in isolated pockets of Jammu and Kashmir, northwest Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar, IMD said.

The thick layer of fog caused disruptions in air traffic in Srinagar and Delhi, with officials saying that all flights were cancelled at Srinagar airport while several morning flights were re-scheduled at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in the national capital due to poor visibility. "All flights were cancelled for the day due to bad weather. The visibility was as low as 50m," a Srinagar airport official said, requesting anonymity, adding that flight operations have been severely affected by dense fog since Friday.

Officials also said that rail services were heavily affected due to fog, with at least 51 trains running late at various railway stations in Delhi.
