21 trains running late due to low visibility in Northern Railway region

At least 21
trains were running late because of low visibility in the Northern Railway
region on Thursday, says sources

As many as
29 trains were delayed on Wednesday because of moderate fog that led to low
visibility.

The India
Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that there will be no more cold
wave in Delhi till January 4 and there might be a slight rise in temperatures.

However, the
Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi continued to be in ‘severe’ category.
According to the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC) data, the AQI in
Anand Vihar was recorded at 418, at 426 in RK Puram and at 457 in Rohini early
Thursday.

According to
scientists, the easing of the cold spell over Delhi and several parts of north
India is because of a change in wind directions on Tuesday from northwesterly,
which brings cold winds from the Himalayas to the northern plains, to easterly,
which brings moist air originating in Bay of Bengal from states such as West
Bengal and Bihar.

Meteorologists
said weather conditions were undergoing a transition, with a western
disturbance affecting the region.
