New Delhi, Jan 02: Normal life was thrown out of gear in the capital this morning as a dense fog engulfed the city disrupting train schedules and forcing closure of the runway at the Indira Gandhi international airport.
All flights and trains were delayed as the thick fog
reduced visibility to virtually nil and left motorists with
no other option but to move at a snail`s pace.
Airport sources said flight schedules were hampered since
last evening itself. However, the runway was closed for all
incoming and outgoing flights after midnight, they said adding
the first flight was expected to take off late in the day.
With fog settling down on railway tracks, nearly all
trains entering the capital were delayed, the source said
adding all precautions had been taken to ensure safe arrival
of trains at various railway stations.
