Visibility at Indira Gandhi International Airport and Safdarjung was only 50 meters until 8 am. The fog disrupted flight and train operations. Meanwhile, pollution levels also increased.

 

 

According to the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) Sameer app, the Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 402 at 8 am, falling into the 'severe' category. Anand Vihar (455) and Vivek Vihar (456) were the most polluted areas.

 

 

Due to the fog, 70 trains arriving in Delhi are running two to 15 hours late. The delayed arrival in Delhi has necessitated changes in the departure times of several trains for their return journeys.
