Dense fog has significantly reduced visibility across the National Capital Region, with reports indicating drops to 200 metres in several areas, including Delhi's IGI airport. This phenomenon has severely impacted morning routines and traffic, prompting a travel advisory for motorists.

The district administration has advised drivers to exercise extreme caution, recommending specific measures like using low-beam headlights, maintaining safe distances, and ensuring proper vehicle ventilation to prevent accidents during the low visibility periods.
