Fog disrupts air operations at IGI airport 17 February
New Delhi: The mercury dipped below normal in the national capital this
morning, while a thick layer of fog disrupted flight operations in the

become dense at around 4 AM, forcing the authorities to implement the
low visibility procedures on both the runways.
