Not only air travel but also railway services were impacted by the fog.
At least 25 trains arriving or departing from Delhi's Railway Station faced delays.
On Wednesday morning, a significant accident occurred near Unnao on the Agra-Lucknow Expressway, resulting in one fatality and over two dozen injuries, as reported by India Today.
Details of the incident:
A series of collisions ensued involving six vehicles after a double-decker bus lost control in low visibility, striking the central divider.
This initial collision triggered multiple rear-end crashes involving other vehicles.
Tragically, one passenger lost their life at the scene, while around 24 others sustained severe injuries and were promptly taken to the nearest hospital.
