Delhi Fog Disrupts Flights: IGI Issues Advisory as AQI Crosses Severe Mark

On this broadcast, India Today's Anjali Istwal and Senior Special Correspondent Piyush Mishra report on the severe weather conditions gripping the national capital. Dense fog has shrouded Delhi NCR, reducing visibility and severely impacting flight operations at IGI Airport. The programme highlights a specific incident where an Air India Express flight, which took off from Goa's Mopa airport at 11:55 pm, was diverted to Ahmedabad because Jaipur Airport was already congested due to earlier diversions. Piyush Mishra provides ground updates, noting that flight operations are being conducted under 'category conditions' and that the Delhi airport has issued an advisory for passengers. Additionally, the Air Quality Index (AQI) in Delhi has breached the 'severe' category, crossing the 400 mark, creating a 'double whammy' for residents.
