For the next two days, the India Meteorological Department predicts severe to very dense fog across North Indian states.
According to PTI, which cited sources, approximately 80 aircraft have been delayed at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport due to bad weather conditions. The delays, caused by poor visibility and foggy weather, disrupted the plans of several people, causing frustration and hardship.
One such passenger, who was scheduled to travel to Gangtok, Sikkim, expressed his displeasure with the scenario.
“We’re flying to Gangtok, Sikkim, to celebrate the New Year, but our flight is two hours late.” We would complain if it is delayed any longer,” he told ANI, highlighting the mounting discontent among those stranded at the airport.
