With a thick smog engulfing the Delhi airport and areas around it, as many as 32 flights were on Sunday diverted to nearby cities. Most of the flights were domestic and could not land due to minimum visibility falling around the airport premises.

"Till a while back, about 32 flights were diverted due to bad weather. Pollution and other weather conditions have caused low visibility at the airport," said an official working at the Delhi airport. Diversion of flights has inconvenienced thousands of passengers throwing their travel plans out of the gear.
