55 trains cancelled, 12 delayed due to fog: Railways

NEW DELHI: As dense fog enveloped several parts of the national capital on Thursday, 55 trains were cancelled and 25 remained partially cancelled across northern railways, officials said.

At least 12 trains were delayed due to low visibility, they said.

Some prominent trains including Puri-New Delhi Purushottam Express, Howrah-New Delhi Poorva Express, Bhagalpur-Anand Vihar Garib Rath Express, Varanasi-New Delhi Kashi Vishwanath Express and New Jalpaiguri-New Delhi Express have been delayed by several hours, the railways said.

Most of the affected trains were running late by two-three hours due to very low visibility around the national capital, they said.

The situation, however, was much better this year because of ‘Fog Pass’, a safety device that was provided to railway zones worst affected by fog, they added. (AGENCIES)
