The India Meteorological Department has warned of dense fog across several parts of Delhi, with visibility expected to fall to as low as 50 metres, especially near Safdarjung and Palam airports.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a dense fog warning for multiple zones in the national capital, citing rapidly deteriorating visibility. Meteorologists forecast that in the worst‑affected pockets, such as the areas surrounding Safdarjung and Palam airports, sightlines could shrink to just 50 metres.
Transport authorities have been alerted to the heightened risk, and officials anticipate possible disruptions to road and air traffic. Commuters are advised to exercise caution, reduce speed, and avoid non‑essential travel until conditions improve.
The alert follows a pattern of early‑winter fog that has become common in northern India, driven by low temperatures and high humidity. Residents are urged to stay updated through official channels and heed any further advisories issued by the IMD or local agencies.
