Dense fog has severely hampered visibility in the nation's capital and other parts of northern India. Road, rail, and air travel have all been impacted by the current weather.

At Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport, up to 66 arrival and departure flights were canceled on Saturday.

Additionally, Delhi Airport issued a notice advising travelers to check the status of their flights by staying in regular contact with their respective airlines.

"At Delhi Airport, Low Visibility Procedures are still being implemented. Every flight operation is operating as it should. For the most recent flight information, travelers are encouraged to get in touch with their individual airlines," the statement stated.

Delhi-NCR is under a yellow alert, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). A cold day warning has been issued for the afternoon, and the department predicts that the area will experience moderate to dense fog in the morning and evening.

This implies that low temperatures will persist throughout the day, increasing the likelihood of cold weather.

The weather in Delhi is not anticipated to improve much despite the arrival of a western disturbance. Pollution levels will probably continue to rise in the upcoming days because wind speeds are still extremely low.
