Delhi grappled with a severe fog spell on Sunday, lasting nearly 11 hours, severely impacting air and rail operations. With visibility dropping below 200 meters and zero visibility for seven-and-a-half hours, over 400 flights were delayed, 10 diverted, and 20 cancelled at Indira Gandhi International Airport. The worst fog of the year disrupted operations, causing delays throughout the day. Low visibility procedures were initiated, compounding delays, while ongoing runway repairs added to the challenges. Passengers faced frustration, with social media flooded by complaints. The situation is expected to persist, as IMD forecasts dense to very dense fog on Monday.
