New Delhi, January 20: A thick layer of fog descended on the national capital tonight creating trouble for motorists as the visibility dropped drastically.
Fog started enveloping the city around 8:30 pm and within two hours, the visibility dropped to less than 20 metres.
Following the heavy fog, Air India has rescheduled its two international flights.
New York bound AI-101 and AI-121 to Frankfurt (both non- stop flights) have been rescheduled. The Frankfurt flight has been rescheduled for 11 am tomorrow, according to Air India officials.
In the city, traffic is moving at a snail’s pace as the visibility range dropped drastically.
“It was very difficult to drive. I could not see anything beyond 20 metres,” said Chandan Ghosh, a media professional who was returning to his Mayur Vihar house from Connaught Place.
