In the midst of winter, northern parts of India grapple with persistent cold wave conditions and dense fog, causing disruptions in both air and rail travel. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), these chilly conditions are expected to prevail until January 27.

Dense fog continues to engulf north and northeast India, causing significant disruptions in air and rail travel. On Thursday, a thick layer of fog persisted in parts of Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Assam, and Odisha, leading to reduced visibility and travel delays. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts that these weather conditions are likely to persist for the next five days, with cold wave to severe cold wave conditions expected over northwest India.

Delhi experienced the coldest night of the winter season for the second consecutive day, with the minimum temperature dropping to a bone-chilling 3 degrees Celsius in Aya Nagar, the last village on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a red alert due to the prevailing cold wave and dense fog conditions in both Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR).

Flight operations at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport faced disruption as a dense blanket of fog descended upon the national capital, leading to visibility issues and delays in both international and domestic flights.
