Dense fog affect normal life in North India

Cold wave coupled with dense fog affected normal life in most parts of North India Friday as the mercury dipped in many areas including Delhi. Rail services were hit in the region with cancellation of over 60 trains. Flight operations, however, were normal at IGI Airport in Delhi.

After over a fortnight, Delhiites too felt nip in the air as dense fog cover greeted them on a wintry



morning. Both minimum and maximum dropped by about four degrees.

Mercury dipped in most parts of Kashmir Valley while the minimum temperature rose by six degrees in Leh town. Kargil was the coldest place in the Valley, an official of the Meteorological Department said. Cold conditions also prevailed in Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan with mercury dropping by few notches.
