January 18, 2010 | Fog engulfs parts of northern India | New Delhi: A dense fog once again threw normal life out of gear in the northern parts of India today. Amritsar reported a minimum temperature of 0.4 degrees Celsius that
was four degrees below normal. The fog delayed many trains and flights in Amritsar
while the city traffic was reduced to a crawl. "There is so much fog and despite
putting on fog lights the visibility is less. I'm facing difficulty in driving,
the children are also getting late for school," said Bharat Bhushan, a school
bus driver. The fog caused delay in trains in Gorakhpur town of Uttar Pradesh
as well. Passengers faced a tough time while waiting in the biting cold at the
platform. "I've come from New Delhi, have to go to Chhapra. We've been waiting
here for past two-three hours but still we are clueless as to when we will be
able to reach our destination," said Suresh Choubey, a passenger. Meanwhile, after
four days of disruption in operation, the flights at the Indira Gandhi International
(IGI) Airport in Indian capital New Delhi were on schedule. For past four days,
over 200 international and domestic flights were disrupted at IGI because of dense
fog. The fog led to cancellation of around 26 flights on Sunday. |
