A couple of flights were delayed and the commuters also faced difficulty in driving as the visibility was less than 50 meters.
An advisory issued by the Delhi Airport said that low visibility procedures were implemented and that there might be some flight disruptions. "Passengers are requested to contact the airline concerned for updated flight information," it added.
Even rail traffic got disrupted in the morning due to low visibility. According to Railways, as many as 21 trains got delayed due to operational reasons.
