Delhi woke up to dense fog on Sunday as a biting cold wave combined with ‘severe’ air pollution levels tightened their grip on the national capital. Visibility dropped sharply across several parts of the city, disrupting normal movement and prompting authorities to issue advisories for motorists and commuters.
Low visibility conditions during the early morning hours raised concerns over road safety, with drivers urged to exercise caution and avoid high speeds. The cold wave further intensified the discomfort, adding to the challenges posed by hazardous air quality.
With pollution levels remaining in the severe category, restrictions under pollution control measures continued, as residents grappled with a mix of extreme cold, poor air quality, and reduced visibility.
