New Delhi: Parts of north India were shrouded by fog which led to cancellation and rescheduling of many trains, even as sub-zero temperatures prevailed at night in most parts of Kashmir division.
Dense to very dense fog engulfed many places in eastern Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, while isolated places in Bihar, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim witnessed shallow to moderate fog in the morning hours, the MeT department said.
In Delhi, shallow fog in the morning led to cancellation of 17 trains while 90 are running late and 40 have been rescheduled.
However, normal flight operations were reported at the IGI Airport here, its spokesperson said.
The national capital recorded a low of 10.5 degrees Celsius, two notches above normal, while the maximum temperature settled at 26.6 degrees Celsius.
