Actually, more than 370 others were delayed. Thousands of people are just sitting in terminals waiting for a break in the clouds.

As a result, visibility at Palam dropped to a measly 150 metres on Monday morning. Consequently, more than 150 flights were delayed today as well. It’s a recurring winter nightmare that hits every December (let’s be real, it never gets easier).
In fact, the airlines are scrambling to keep up. IndiGo put out an advisory warning everyone that visibility can vanish in seconds. Instead of a smooth morning, travelers are being told to check their flight status before even leaving home.

The thing is, the trains aren’t doing any better. Actually, over 50 trains under the Northern Railways have been delayed because of the same grey soup.
