According to the Northern Railways Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Nitin Chowdhary, at least 22 trains have been cancelled, 40 trains were running late and three have been rescheduled owing to poor visibility due to the fog.


Meanwhile, the air quality in the national capital has been keeping under 'hazardous' category as particulate matters remain suspended in air due to lack of wind. The air quality index (AQI) in Delhi's Siri Fort area was at 351, while ITO area was at 302.
