Delhi woke up to a thick layer of fog , as air quality remained in the ‘poor’ category, according to monitoring agencies.
The reduced visibility due to fog disrupted morning schedules, with several flights delayed at Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport. Authorities advised passengers to check updated flight information before heading to the airport.
Air quality monitors recorded pollution levels in the ‘poor’ range across multiple parts of the city, raising concerns over health risks, particularly for sensitive groups.
Commuters faced difficulties on major roads due to low visibility, while traffic police urged caution and slower driving speeds to avoid accidents.
Officials noted that weather conditions, including fog and low wind speed, contributed to the persistence of pollutants, with forecasts indicating little improvement in the coming days.
