What’s inside:
This article talks about the delays faced by trains and flights in North India due to dense fog, particularly affecting travel from Delhi to Patna.
The winter season has brought significant delays in travel for many passengers. On a recent Saturday, a train journey from Delhi to Patna that usually takes 12 hours turned into a 25-hour ordeal for travelers. The Sampoorna Kranti Express was the most delayed, arriving in Patna about 13 hours late.
Heavy fog in North India has caused major disruptions in both rail and air transport. The Sampoorna Kranti Express left Delhi four hours late and then made several stops along the way, adding to the delay. It finally reached Patna Junction at 7 PM, and many other trains also faced delays ranging from 11 to 17 hours.
This situation has made travel quite stressful for passengers. Along with the Sampoorna Kranti, trains like the Howrah Rajdhani Express and Tejas Rajdhani also faced significant delays, resulting in many unhappy travelers. Passengers planned for a quick journey but were stuck for many extra hours.
Besides trains, flights were also affected at Patna Airport. On the same day, 22 flights experienced delays ranging from one to two hours. Thankfully, no flights were canceled, but it still caused inconvenience for passengers waiting to board their flights.
Travelers are advised to check the status of their trains and flights before leaving for the station or airport. The situation may improve as the fog clears, but for now, patience is key for those traveling in this winter season.
