Delhi: fog disrupts train schedules in North India

Vehicles move slowly at Vijay Chowk on a foggy morning in New Delhi on Tuesday.

New Delhi: Dense fog disrupted train movement in North India for the third consecutive day today, with around 50 Delhi-bound trains running behind schedule.

Timings of two trains leaving from Delhi this morning were rescheduled, a Northern Railway Spokesperson said.

Around 50 Delhi-bound trains were running four to seven hours behind schedule because of poor visibility, the spokesperson said.

The official also said most of the trains running late were from eastern cities like Howrah, Sealdah, Bhubaneshwar and Ranchi.

All these trains were running two to four hours behind schedule and departure of these trains was likely to be rescheduled, he said.

Indian Railways has already cancelled a few trains to ensure better management of traffic movement during the foggy weather.
